Phoenix Children’s Asks Community to Step Up. Stop Cancer
By Claire Natale - Sunday Sep 04, 2022
The American Cancer Society estimates that almost 16,000 U.S. children and adolescents will be diagnosed with cancer in 2022. In the same year, an estimated 1,600 will die from the disease. Despite major treatment advances, cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children.

The kids can’t wait. Cancer doesn’t stop and the need for Phoenix Children’s to fight this disease is consistent and ongoing. That’s why Phoenix Children’s is asking the public to Step Up. Stop Cancer. and help raise much needed funds during September’s National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The campaign brings together individuals and businesses in the Valley to fund critical care at Phoenix Children' Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCBD), including research, equipment, and patient care.

There are many ways the public can participate, including:

Donate. Donate any amount to the CCBD. Throughout the entire month of September, your donation to Phoenix Children’s CCBD will be matched, up to $125,000, by the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation and Camelback Volkswagen Subaru | Camelback Hyundai Kia.

Fundraise. Start a movement against childhood cancer by getting your family, friends and colleagues involved, or donate to a friend’s Step Up. Stop Cancer. fundraiser.

Support Phoenix Children’s Partners. Visit http://www.StepUpStopCancer.org for a list of the Valley businesses that are Stepping Up their support including:
