Their Fight Is Our Fight

The American Cancer Society estimates that almost 16,000 U.S. children and adolescents will be diagnosed with cancer in 2022. In the same year, an estimated 1,600 will die from the disease. Despite major treatment advances, cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and this year you have a special opportunity to step up for young cancer warriors. All month long, your donation to Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders will be matched, up to $125,000, by our generous friends at the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, Camelback Volkswagen Subaru | Camelback Hyundai Kia and Massage Envy.

That means when you #StepUpWithPCH in September, your gift will go twice as far for children fighting for their lives.
