How can you support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month?
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a month dedicated to recognizing and honoring the children and families affected by childhood cancer and supporting them through the challenges that this reality brings.
Each year, approximately 400,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer. This diagnosis changes their lives. It is the start of countless doctor appointments, treatments, testing, and routine checkups—even after they are cancer-free—just like Starlight Kid, Henry. Henry is in remission after being diagnosed with B-cell leukemia, but his journey, like so many other children affected by cancer, is far from over.
That’s why Starlight is focused on improving the lives of seriously ill kids across the US and delivering them moments of joy. Whether it is through a Starlight Hospital Gown that makes their hospital stay a little more comfortable or Starlight Gaming that can provide them a sense of normalcy from their hospital room, Starlight is there to support them through their entire journey.
Now, this September, you can make an impact in the lives of children with cancer by supporting Starlight and helping us place more Starlight programs at hospitals across the country.
