As the official Prize Sponsor for this October’s awareness campaign, Venustas is dedicated to bringing cutting-edge warmth, support, and clinical-level comfort to millions living with Raynaud’s.

NEW YORK, N.Y. — October 1, 2026 — In recognition of Raynaud’s Awareness Month this October, Venustas, a global leader in intelligent heated apparel, is proud to announce its official partnership with the Raynaud’s Association as the exclusive Prize Sponsor for the nationwide “Map the Warmth” Giveaway. Running from October 1 to October 31, 2026, this campaign aims to bring visibility to an underserved medical community while equipping members with the thermal gear they need to face the cold.

At Venustas, our mission has always been driven by the power of warmth. By teaming up with the Raynaud’s Association, we are stepping up to turn awareness into tangible action for a community that fights a daily battle against the cold.

Why Heated Apparel is a Game-Changer for the Raynaud’s Community

For most people, a sudden drop in temperature or an air-conditioned room is a minor seasonal inconvenience. However, for the millions living with Raynaud’s syndrome, the cold is a daily adversary.

Whether triggered by a chilly breeze, stress, or everyday temperature changes, Raynaud’s causes blood vessels in the fingers and toes to narrow drastically, leading to painful color changes, numbness, and freezing discomfort that can bring everyday life to a sudden halt. Traditional layers often fall short against this intense physical reaction.

This is where Venustas heated apparel makes a vital difference. Utilizing advanced, targeted heating technology, our apparel—ranging from heated scarves and hoodies to vests—delivers consistent, controllable warmth directly to core muscle groups and extremities. By keeping the body properly insulated and warm, our gear helps manage symptoms, prevents severe flare-ups, and empowers individuals with Raynaud’s to step outside with confidence, comfort, and freedom.

Putting Raynaud’s on the Map: The “Map the Warmth” Campaign

Despite affecting millions, Raynaud’s remains widely misunderstood, leaving many patients feeling isolated or undiagnosed. To visually demonstrate the true scale and strength of this community, the Raynaud’s Association has launched an interactive digital map at RaynaudsMap.org.

Every pin dropped on the map represents a story, a personal struggle, and an individual standing strong against the cold. To foster collective engagement, we’ve structured the giveaway around unlockable community milestones. As more participants drop their pins, bigger Venustas prizes are unlocked for the community!

Unlockable Prizes from Venustas:

  • Milestone 1 (500 Pins Unlocked): Unlocks Winner #1, who will receive a premium Venustas Heated Scarf.

  • Milestone 2 (1,500 Pins Unlocked): Unlocks Winner #2, who will receive a cozy Venustas Heated Hoodie.

  • Milestone 3 (3,000 Pins Unlocked): Unlocks Winner #3, who will receive our signature Venustas Heated Vest.

If the community hits the ultimate 3,000-pin milestone by October 31, three lucky members will walk away with state-of-the-art heated gear to help them conquer the winter season.
