Why Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Matters

Why September Matters

CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Each year, 16,000 kids in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer.

CHILDHOOD CANCER IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH BY DISEASE IN CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 14 IN THE UNITED STATES.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a leading institution in the fight against childhood cancer, treating children from all 50 states and around the world.

This September join St. Jude by raising funds and awareness during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Because of you, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.

We share our research and treatment with hospitals and clinics around the world, helping to improve outcomes for children with cancer everywhere.

Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped increase the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened in 1962.

BUT THAT STILL MEANS 1 IN 5 CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER WILL DIE.

WE THINK THAT’S UNACCEPTABLE AND WE KNOW YOU DO, TOO.

Treating and defeating childhood cancer is a team effort. We can’t do it without you.

LET'S CURE CHILDHOOD CANCER.
