A Proclamation Recognizing September 2026 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Summary

Denver City Council Proclamation No. 26-1270 recognizes September 2026 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. It highlights childhood cancer’s effects on children, survivors, and families, including intensive treatment, long-term health risks, research needs, and substantial medical, travel, and lost-income costs. The proclamation does not create new legal requirements or funding. Instead, it encourages Colorado residents to support related programs through donations of time or money and honors families, health professionals, and community organizations involved in childhood cancer care. The City Clerk and Recorder must affix the city seal and send copies to Team Nathaniel, The Morgan Adams Foundation, and the Pediatric and Adolescent Cancer Task Force of the Colorado Cancer Coalition. The Council passed it August 31, 2026.
