Show Up Your Way This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is more than awareness – it’s about the moments that matter.

Every day, families facing childhood cancer are working toward a return to simple childhood. Muddy pants after playing outside. Time at the ballfield. Craft tables covered in glitter. Swim meets, school days and ordinary moments that feel extraordinary after cancer.

Those moments are made possible by years of research and progress – and by the people who believe better is possible.

There’s no single way to make a difference. However you choose to show up, you’re helping create more moments that matter for kids and families facing childhood cancer.

Start a Fundraiser

Turn your passion into purpose by creating your own fundraiser to fund childhood cancer research. From golf tournaments and lemonade stands to birthday fundraisers and workplace giving campaigns, "do-it-yourself" fundraising lets you support kids with cancer in a way that feels personal to you. 

Make Halloween More Meaningful

This October, transform trick-or-treating into an opportunity to give back. Whether it’s collecting donations instead of candy, displaying a unique QR code on your doorstep,  or adding a cause to your Halloween party, small moments can create meaningful impact. 

Create an Honor Page

Honor a child, survivor, caregiver or loved one affected by childhood cancer by creating a tribute page. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate their story while helping fund critical research and family support programs. 

If You're in the Twin Cities

Sometimes, showing up can be as simple as supporting a local business that’s supporting kids with cancer. This September, two of our CCAM partners are giving you an easy way to do just that.

Thank you to R.F. Moeller, Punch Pizza and all of our CCAM partners for showing up for kids and families this September.

It’s time to make a difference. Throughout September, R.F. Moeller will donate 100% of watch battery sales to CCRF. Visit either of their two Minnesota locations and help give kids more time for the moments that matter.

This September, Julian’s Manhattan has a special purpose. 20% of proceeds from the cocktail at Spoon & Stable will benefit Children’s Cancer Research Fund in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Stop by, enjoy a Julian’s Manhattan and support a better future for kids with cancer.

Together, we’re turning support into research, and research into a return to childhood.
