The first FASDay was celebrated on 9/9/99, and was chosen so that on the ninth day of the ninth month of the year, people would remember that during the nine months of pregnancy a woman should abstain from drinking alcohol.
To build awareness for FASD Awareness Day, the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol and what the Minnesota Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and many of our partners and grantees are doing right here in MN, watch for these 9/9 activities:
