Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death among children in the U.S. In fact, despite major treatment advances over the past five decades, it is responsible for more child deaths than all other diseases combined. Each September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month shines a light on this devastating disease.

At Phoenix Children's, this important month brings our community together in support of our Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, which treats most of the children diagnosed with cancer in Arizona. Your generosity allows us to provide comprehensive patient care; offer the best, most current treatments; and conduct research that gets us closer to new cures.
