LÖSEV leukemia awareness campaign

Overview

The Leukemia and Cancer Foundation (LÖSEV) initiated a nationwide awareness campaign in Turkey for Leukemia Children’s Week, observed from November 2 to 8. The campaign utilizes the color orange to symbolize hope and increase public knowledge regarding childhood leukemia.

Activities expanded from initial calls for institutional and social media engagement to specific regional and international events. In Samsun, local offices used orange pinwheels to spread messages, while volunteers in Istanbul held a dance event on Bağdat Avenue to emphasize that the disease is treatable. Planned visual demonstrations include illuminating landmarks such as the Galata Tower, Osmangazi Bridge, and potentially Niagara Falls in orange. Additionally, a collaboration in Bursa between ZEISS Türkiye and Beta Optik provided free eye examinations for children to support vision health and educational equality.
