This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating September 2026 as "National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month." The measure highlights that more than 14,500 children under age 19 are diagnosed with cancer annually in the United States, with approximately 1,600 dying from the disease each year, making it one of the leading causes of death for children after infancy. While survival rates have improved significantly from 58 percent in the mid-1970s to 85 percent in 2025, the resolution notes that most child cancer survivors develop chronic health conditions from their treatment. The resolution calls on federal and state governments, local communities, and nonprofit organizations to observe the month with programs aimed at raising public awareness about childhood cancer, while also encouraging ongoing monitoring and care for survivors throughout their adult lives. No federal funding or specific implementation deadlines are attached to this measure, which is a symbolic resolution rather than legislation that creates new programs or spending.
