Attention Arizona Dwellers – September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. Let’s all paint the town GOLD to show our support.
A child is diagnosed with cancer every three-and-a-half minutes and only a staggering 4 percent of U.S. federal funding is earmarked for childhood cancer research. As a human being these numbers are shocking and horrifying, and as a mother they are heartbreaking and unfathomable, but very real.
Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation is asking the Community to Go Gold this September during Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month – with the goal of raising $1 million to support the Hospital’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders.
On September 1, 2016 the Go Gold campaign kicks off with local mayors from all over the area will hold gold ribbon cutting ceremonies at various shopping centers in their respective cities. Then the fundraising officially kicks off with support from over 50 Valley businesses offering promotions to raise money for this cause.
I’d like to ask all of my local readers to please support this initiative by dining out at one of these great eateries. Take your family out for a treat, have a date night, gather your co-workers and enjoy these great deals while doing something wonderful for a worthy cause.
