On Giving Tuesday, we want to emphasize the importance of raising awareness. As a non-profit organization, we are committed to shedding light on vitiligo, a skin disorder that is often not well understood. Our mission is to empower, inspire, and mentor both youth and adults through a variety of initiatives, including advocacy, education, self-esteem makeovers, entrepreneurship, support group formation, social media celebrations, social events, and much more.

We believe that knowledge and compassion are essential tools for fostering a more inclusive and understanding world. Your contribution will allow us to host workshops and seminars that share valuable information about vitiligo, promoting empathy and acceptance within communities. Moreover, your support will help us create resources and materials to be distributed to schools and workplaces, enhancing awareness.

Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by vitiligo, helping them embrace their unique beauty and thrive in a nurturing environment. Thank you for being part of this vital journey.

About

Natasha Pierre McCarthy is the proud founder of National Vitiligo Bond Inc. Foundation (Vitiligo Bond), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering individuals with vitiligo. Inspired by her work as a Christian business professor and teaching from her pastor, she transformed her vision from God into reality by creating a platform that educates, uplifts, and connects those affected by vitiligo. Vitiligo Bond raises awareness through innovative educational initiatives, including Vitiligo 101 sessions at Emory University with Dr. Holla, community events, social media outreach, partnerships with support groups, and collaborations with public figures and state leaders. By fostering a strong sense of community, Vitiligo Bond ensures that no one living with vitiligo feels alone. Through dedicated advocacy efforts, Vitiligo Bond—alongside passionate advocate volunteers—has played a key role in spearheading and securing Governor Proclamations in multiple states, officially recognizing Vitiligo Awareness in Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia... The organization has helped start up support groups and nonprofits nationally and internationally. In addition, well known business brands have consulted and used models from the organization to represent their products and to help destigmatize vitiligo. Additionally, the organization has been recognized by Congressman Hank Johnson, who supported efforts to gain national recognition for vitiligo awareness. This advocacy contributed to President Barack Obama acknowledging Vitiligo Awareness during the month of June. Currently, further legislative efforts have been initiated to address bullying. Natasha believes that everyone is created with a purpose and deserves to live a full, vibrant life. “We all have the ability to shine.” Vitiligo Bond remains committed to raising awareness, destigmatizing vitiligo, advocating for youth who experience bullying, and supporting men and women struggling with self-acceptance. Through its platform, the organization also assist in research efforts to uncover the cause and ultimately find a cure for vitiligo.
