This Senate resolution designates September 2026 as "National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month" to draw attention to the impact of cancer on children and adolescents in the United States. It cites statistics showing nearly 15,000 young people are diagnosed with cancer each year and about 1,600 die from the disease, while also noting that survival rates have improved significantly since the 1970s, from 63 percent to over 85 percent. The resolution calls on the federal government, states, localities, and nonprofit organizations to hold programs and activities during the month to raise public awareness. It also encourages childhood cancer survivors to continue receiving medical monitoring throughout their lives, since many develop lasting health conditions from treatment. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new funding, programs, or legal requirements, but it affirms Congress's commitment to prioritizing childhood cancer prevention and treatment while honoring affected children and their families.
