Color the World Orange Day

Every year on the first Monday in November, the world turns orange for people living with chronic pain. Landmarks glow tangerine, orange ribbons pop up on lapels, and communities rally around a condition few have heard of. In 2026, that day is November 2. Pull on something orange and join the kindest color party of the year.

3 ways to celebrate

WITH FRIENDS

Wear Orange Loud and Proud

Pull on an orange shirt, ribbon, or bracelets and share a photo with #CRPSOrangeDay. Ask friends and family to join in so the orange spreads.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Host an Orange Bake Sale

Organize an orange day at school, an orange walk to raise money for research, or an orange bake sale. Early supporters used events like these to raise thousands for RSDSA research.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Ask a Landmark to Glow

Ask a local business to display orange ribbons or a building to light up orange for the night. A single glowing storefront can start a whole town talking.
