Ateneo Chemistry Department in Partnership with Philippine Society for Orphan Disorders organizes WEAR WEAR RARE. This aims to: 1) To raise awareness of the community about RARE/orphan diseases 2) To raise funds for the families to help with the costs of raising children with orphan diseases 3) To provide the kids and their family one worry-free day
WEAR RARE is an advocacy campaign with three activities: product designing (jeans, bags, etc.) with RARE kids, video campaign for RARE awareness, and finally, a runway to showcase the products that the participants and the kids made together. The main material that will be used for the creation of the products will be denim or jeans (rhymes with “genes”, since these diseases are genetic diseases). To culminate the event, an auction will be held for the products in order to raise the funds for the kids
