Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Tuesday, July 17th, 2018
HOW CAN YOU HELP RAISE AWARENESS THIS SEPTEMBER?
Families, caregivers, charities and research groups across the United States observe September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In the U.S., 15,780 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer every year; approximately 1/4 of them will not survive the disease. A diagnosis turns the lives of the entire family upside down. The objective of Childhood CancerAwareness Month is to put a spotlight on the types of cancer that largely affect children, survivorship issues, and – importantly – to help raise funds for research and family support.

Children’s Health Day
Without a doubt, the timing of National Health Center Week lends itself well to caring for the youngest members of our communities as they get ready to go back to school, play Fall sports, and access all the wonderful resources available to support a happy, healthy childhood. More than 8 million children get their hair at a community health center in the United States. Child Health Day is a United States Federal Observance Day observed on the first Monday in October.
Take advantage of the fun and celebrate Children’s Health Day during National Health Center Week by hosting one of the following events:
-
Children’s Back to School Health Fair – work with partners in your community to bring together a health fair that will get kids ready to go back to school. Provide health screenings, give away backpacks, provide sports physicals, nutritious foods, face painting, bouncy houses, and shaved ice, the ideas and activities are endless.
-
Host a Kids Coloring Contest – host a kids coloring contest at the health center the week before National Health Center Week, then invite your elected officials to join you at the health center to announce contest winners and recognize young artists from the community.
-
Community Garden & Nutrition Event – teach the youngest members of your community about health and nutrition by hosting a community garden planting event. Work with partners to make healthy groceries available to the child patients of the health center.
