CDH Research International - 2026 Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Light Ups

We are looking forward to another great season of light ups to help us spread Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness online and in public – with family and friends. So far, the following International landmarks are lighting up on April 19th, 2026. Let’s have some fun spreading CDH Awareness together!

A sincere thank you goes out to all the landmarks around the world participating this year. Your support helps us more than you know and along with awareness it can bring some light to the families who endure life with CDH.

Please attend (safely) and take photos of the landmark! We would also love to see a photo of the landmark and with everyone in front of the landmark! Use hashtags #CDHLightUp2026 #April19 or you can also email your photos or questions to awareness@cdhi.org

*Please note: Most of the landmarks are lighting up on April 19th, 2026 however, there are some landmarks lighting up on a different day or multiple days. Please see below for date variations. Please also note that the lighting of all landmarks are subject to cancellations or lights not working correctly, we apologize in advance if that happens.
