Each September, we observe Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. And every year, we are reminded of how often “awareness” falls short of what children and families truly need when faced with a childhood cancer diagnosis.
Awareness is an essential first step—but it’s not our end goal.
Childhood cancer remains one of the most underfunded areas of research. Many treatments still rely on decades-old protocols. Families navigating a diagnosis experience not only emotional trauma, but also financial devastation. And for survivors, the long-term health effects can last a lifetime.
We owe these children more than recognition. We owe them real progress.
At Hope & Heroes, we fund what comes next: cutting-edge research that moves the field forward, personalized care tailored to each child, and wraparound support that helps families stabilize during the most difficult time of their lives.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month raises visibility. What matters most is how we use that attention.
Awareness alone won’t drive innovation. But your support can bridge the gap between awareness and providing children with cancer the premier care they truly deserve.
Your gift this September helps fund better treatments, stronger support systems, and real progress in pediatric cancer care—ensuring every child has a chance at a full and healthy life.
