A Month of Awareness and Progress for the Sarcoma Community
A Month of Awareness and Progress for the Sarcoma Community
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Sarcoma accounts for 15-20% of all childhood cancer diagnoses each year in the U.S. These diagnoses bring a host of challenges to children and their families. Throughout September, SFA will recognize National Childhood Cancer Awareness month with social media posts, educational content, and resources to help families with children affected by sarcoma.
We invite you to share these posts on your social media accounts, post your own messages with the hashtags #CureSarcoma and #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth. We also invite you to join us in raising awareness on Wednesday, September 18, for Wear Gold Day, when we encourage everyone to wear gold clothing and/or accessories in support of child sarcoma patients.
September also recognizes World Cancer Research Day on the 24th of the month. This day underscores the critical advancements in sarcoma research that have been made, are ongoing, and still need to be pursued. Both observances remind us of the importance of the work being done at Sarcoma Foundation of America, and we are eager to see what new progress can be achieved in the future.
