September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month


September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and September 12 is Childhood Cancer Awareness Day

Here are some things you can do this month (and ALL YEAR ROUND, for the most part!) to support Childhood Cancer Awareness. None of these things involves any financial burden of any kind (except for eating at Chili's ... but hey, ya gotta eat right??)

Tell everyone you know (and even those you don't know) how you, or someone you love, has been touched by childhood cancer.


Donate blood: givelife.org


Dine at Chili’s on September 28, 2009, when they will donate 100% of profits from restaurant sales to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: createapepper.com


WEAR GOLD FOR THE KIDS: cafepress.com/teamunite


Register to become a bone marrow donor: marrow.org


Offer to volunteer at a local childhood cancer center.


Join Team Unite to become part of a unified voice against childhood cancer: teamunite.net


Join People Against Childhood Cancer (PAC2) to learn of efforts being made around the country to find a cure, raise awareness, and lend support: curechildhoodcancer.ning.com


Let a family that's been touched by childhood cancer know you STILL CARE and haven't forgotten about their struggles.


Let a family of an angel know their child remains in your heart.


Sign the CURE CHILDHOOD CANCER petition (and ask your friends and family to sign, as well!): thepetitionsite.com/1/CureChildhoodCancer
