2026 Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

This September marks Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor the resilience of children battling cancer and the families who support them, while raising awareness of the ongoing need for pediatric cancer research and funding. The impact of childhood cancer extends far beyond diagnosis, reshaping daily life, childhoods, and futures. Yet even in the hardest moments, these kids show us what courage really looks like. Behind every gold ribbon is a real story: a first day back at school after treatment, a sibling learning to be brave too, a family finding hope in small victories.
This month, we're committed to raising awareness, honoring survivors, remembering those we've lost, and pushing forward the research that gives every child a fighting chance. Awareness isn't just about wearing gold, it's about showing up, speaking out, and standing with kids and families who need us.
