Go Gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness: Join the Fight This September!

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time for all of us to come together and show our support for the brave kids battling cancer. Whether it's spreading awareness, participating in local events, or simply going gold, there are many ways to make a difference and stand by these incredible children and their families.

Why Is This Month So Important?

Each year, thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer, and while treatments are improving, the journey is still tough. Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for kids under 14, but by raising awareness and funds, we can help support more research and better treatments. It's up to all of us to ensure that these kids have a fighting chance at a healthier future.

Get Involved: Join the Phoenix Children’s 5K & Kids Dash!
