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.

Under the slogan “The Name of Miracle and Hope is LÖSEV,” the initiative encourages participants to wear orange accessories and engage via the hashtag #MucizeVeUmudunAdıLÖSEV. The campaign calls for involvement from public institutions, private companies, schools, and universities. Planned activities include educational seminars led by health professionals and volunteers to inform the public about symptoms, prevention, and treatment methods.

Activities have expanded to include specific regional and international events. In Samsun, local offices used orange pinwheels to spread messages, and the foundation held an event under its ‘Vefakar Anneler’ (Faithful Mothers) project, which brought together mothers of children undergoing treatment for solidarity and support through handicraft workshops. In Istanbul, volunteers 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.
