Expressing support for the recognition of September 2025 as "National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month".
HRES 942 is a symbolic resolution designating September 2025 as "National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month" to raise public awareness about childhood cancer. It does not create new laws or funding but encourages federal, state, local governments, and nonprofits to observe the month with educational programs. The resolution highlights that over 14,500 U.S. children under 19 are diagnosed with cancer annually and emphasizes the need for ongoing care for survivors, who often face long-term health challenges. It acknowledges childhood cancer as a leading cause of disease-related death in children while recognizing the bravery of affected children and their families.
