PROGRAM DETAILS

September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month

September marks National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shining a light on the critical issues surrounding pediatric cancer. This month, we unite to honor the brave children battling pediatric cancer, support their families, and raise awareness about the urgent need for research and funding.

Join Cal’s Angels in the Fight During Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month!

Pediatric cancer is a battle that no child or family should face alone. Yet, the reality is staggering:

  • Pediatric Cancer is Grossly Underfunded:
    Less than 4% of federal funding goes toward pediatric cancer research.
  • Blood Cancers are the Most Common:
    Blood cancers are the most prevalent among children.
  • 1 in 300 Kids Will Be Diagnosed:
    Before they turn 20, 1 in 300 kids will be diagnosed with pediatric cancer.
  • 47 Kids Every Day:
    Every day, 47 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with pediatric cancer.
  • Life-Long Complications:
    Therapies used to treat pediatric cancer often lead to life-long complications.
  • Brain Tumors:
    An estimated 5,000 kids will be diagnosed with a brain tumor this year.
  • Average Age of Diagnosis:
    The average age of diagnosis for pediatric cancer is just 5 years old.

These facts underscore the urgency of raising pediatric cancer awareness and taking action. By spreading the word, advocating for better treatments, supporting affected families, and funding vital research, we can make a significant impact.
