Give blood to fight childhood cancer.

September marks Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor the courage of young patients and survivors, and to support ongoing research and treatment advancements. Each year, over 15,000 children and adolescents in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer. Many of them rely on regular blood transfusions to support their treatment whether for chemotherapy, surgery, or managing complications.
