September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) and POGO is raising awareness of both the progress made and ongoing challenges in caring for children and youth with cancer, survivors and their families. But, as we all know, being aware of the issues does not start and stop in September. Every day, POGO works with our partners – hospitals, families, survivors, donors, government, nonprofits and others – to achieve an excellent system of care, considered among the best in the world, that supports families from the point of diagnosis and and beyond.
