September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) a time to raise awareness and express support for the children and youth with cancer, survivors of childhood cancer, and their families and healthcare teams.

Every day, POGO works with partner hospitals and the Ontario government to help ensure everyone affected by childhood cancer has timely access to the best care and support, and we invite you to join us in championing childhood cancer care.
