## Summary

**This bill would designate September 2026 as National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month** and ask federal, state, local, and nonprofit groups to observe it with programs and activities to raise public knowledge. It notes that more than 14,500 children under 19 are diagnosed each year and about 1,600 die annually, that five-year survival reached 85% by 2025, and that 60 to more than 90% of survivors develop at least one chronic health condition. The resolution encourages survivors to get ongoing monitoring, recognizes the human toll, commends the courage of affected children, and pledges to make prevention and cures a public health priority.
