How do you raise awareness of health issues?

There are multiple ways to raise awareness of health issues. You could set up a bake sale, go door to door (ie unicef which aids a widely known children's hospital), and even raise awareness at a school. At my high school, we had an event titled "Mini-thon" which included a series of obstacles and events for the audience while being able to raise awareness as well as money for children's cancer; not only did this organized event help raise awareness of cancer, currently one of the most leading causes of death, but it also raised money and helped aid children currently struggling with this fatal illness.
