It'll soon be the season for wearing green and celebrating St. Patrick's Day. And the 19th annual Muscular Dystrophy Association Shamrocks Against Dystrophy campaign commemorates the day in style.

Starting in mid-February and culminating on St. Patrick's Day, Shamrocks Against Dystrophy gives individuals and businesses across the country a chance to help defeat more than 40 neuromuscular diseases covered by MDA.

2002 Shamrocks Against Dystrophy

Help brighten your favorite establishment with St. Paddy's Day Green and assist one of America's best-known charities at the same time!

Just look for the Shamrocks Against Dystrophy poster at places where you already do business: grocery, convenience and drug stores; restaurants, gas stations and more.

For a $1 donation to MDA, you can sign a shamrock mobile at one of these locations. You'll be helping to find treatments and cures for neuromuscular diseases and to support MDA's vital services. And as shamrocks are hung for display, you'll contribute to a festive air throughout the store or business. If you'd like to make a larger contribution to MDA, please make an online donation.

Show your support for MDA by placing a Shamrocks Against Dystrophy program banner on your website.
