Did you know? Each year in the U.S. approximately 15,780 children between the ages of birth and 19 years of age are diagnosed with cancer. Of that, over 800 parents throughout Northern California will hear the words, “Your child has cancer”.
Childhood cancer occurs regularly, randomly, and does not discriminate by ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region.
That’s why every September we take time to raise awareness & spread the word about childhood cancer.
September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Every 3 minutes, a family’s life is turned upside down when they hear the four devastating words, “Your child has cancer.” At Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance, we believe that every child deserves a fighting chance – and you can help make that a reality.
This month, we honor brave young warriors, remember our precious Angels, and stand with families fighting childhood cancer today. From fundraising events to volunteer opportunities, there’s a way for everyone to join this mission of hope.
Together, let’s Glow Gold and remind every family: you are not alone in this journey. This September, we shine a light of awareness, love, and unwavering support for every child and family facing childhood cancer.
In this Edition of Keaton’s Mission in Motion:
Join Keaton’s Kiddos and Siblings at Our Wild Day at the Sacramento Zoo • Celebrate Learning, Laughter & New Beginnings at Our Back-to-School Bash! • Experience our “Moments with Love” for Keaton’s Kiddo Malachi • Delight with Ringing the Bell with Isa, Completing His Cancer Treatment • Share in a Special Message from Warrior Mom Megann, during June National Cancer Survivors Month • Mark Your Calendar for upcoming September Events and Ways to Support Keaton’s!
When worlds collide… the result is pure magic! Keaton families were treated to an unforgettable experience at the Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour, and the excitement was off the charts! One parent shared, “For a moment, we weren’t thinking about treatment or next steps – we were just together, smiling, dancing, and soaking it all in. It meant the world.”
