The TB Alliance sponsored efforts by its Community Advisory Boards (CABs) to organize local events around its REMox TB clinical trial sites in recognition of World TB Day. The events promoted awareness and education of TB and drug research within communities. Each CAB developed a unique program for their site; events included activities such as marches, quiz challenges with prizes, symposia for local medical staff, as well as musical, dance, and drama performances.
