Season’s Change
AND JUST LIKE THAT…
Hello September!
College kids are moved in. First days of school have begun and the aisles are screaming pumpkin spice as we remember beach days.
Many are excited for fall leaves, football season and warmer meals.
And this month, there's quite a bit to talk about.
We're focused on putting a little extra attention on the children and families experiencing cancer together.
Because when cancer enters a family, the person with the diagnosis isn't the only one whose world changes.
THE KIDS ARE PART OF THE STORY, TOO.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and we thought it a perfect time to introduce our newest program, a space specifically for children and teens whose lives have been impacted by a loved one's cancer journey.
A place to ask questions.
To connect.
To be heard.
And, perhaps most importantly, to still be a kid.
We'll tell you more very soon.
ONE MONTH. MANY CANCERS.
September also brings awareness to several other cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, ovarian, uterine, prostate and thyroid cancers.
Different diagnoses. Different experiences. One commitment to care.
On September 12, we're gathering nonprofit leaders, healthcare professionals, advocates, wellness providers, and community organizations for The CARE Collective an intentional conversation focused on the needs of our communities and how, together, we can better connect people with the resources, support, and services they deserve.
