SRES 352 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution designating September 2023 as "National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month".

This resolution designates September 2023 as "National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month" in the U.S. Senate. It requests federal, state, local governments, and nonprofits to observe the month with programs aimed at increasing public awareness about childhood cancer risks. The resolution also encourages ongoing health monitoring for childhood cancer survivors and honors children facing cancer, while acknowledging the disease's significant impact (over 15,500 annual diagnoses and 1,700 deaths in children under 19). As a symbolic measure with no legal force, it does not change policies or allocate funding but seeks to raise national attention on childhood cancer.
