Expressing support for the designation of May 15, 2025, as "Prader-Willi Syndrome Awareness Day" to raise awareness of and promote research on the disorder.

This resolution (HRES 253) symbolically designates May 15, 2025, as "Prader-Willi Syndrome Awareness Day" to raise public awareness about Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a rare genetic disorder causing life-threatening obesity, cognitive challenges, and behavioral issues. It directly affects the estimated 10,000-20,000 individuals in the U.S. living with PWS, their families, and advocacy groups like the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association. The resolution expresses congressional support for efforts to promote early diagnosis, research, and improved treatments - without creating new laws or funding - but emphasizes the need for greater public education and research advancement. As a non-binding resolution, it has no direct policy impact but aims to highlight the disorder’s health challenges and support ongoing advocacy.
