ADVOCACY TOOLKITs

These toolkits provide a one-stop resource for patient groups and association members interested in plasma protein therapies. You may use this information to frame your own advocacy efforts, educate your constituents, and strengthen your communications.

International Plasma Awareness Week toolkit (IPAW)

As a joint initiative of the PPTA and its member companies, IPAW aims to raise global awareness about source plasma collection and recognize the invaluable contribution of plasma donors. This toolkit was designed to enable partners, affiliated organizations and the media with resources to create and publicize events, such as IPAW.

See IPAW toolkit

Social media kit
