Let's be active: 10 ideas to celebrate Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

September is a month of particular importance to childhood cancer organizations around the world. This month marks Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, an initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds for the little heroes battling this serious disease.

Every year, around 400,000 children around the world receive the terrifying diagnosis of cancer. This means that every day over 1,000 families have to face the news that changes their lives forever. That's thousands of adolescents who, instead of going to school and playing with friends, have to go through harsh and traumatic treatments in hospitals.

This is the month when we can all do something special to support children and their families in this difficult battle. We don't have to be doctors or scientists to help. All we have to do is show a little compassion and creativity.

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - why should we celebrate this day?

Every year in September, the community comes together to draw attention to the issues facing children diagnosed with cancer. The goal is to inform as many people as possible about the challenges of treating childhood cancer and to encourage financial and moral support for children with cancer and their families.

Childhood cancer is not rare. Statistics show that every year around 400 000 children under the age of 19 are diagnosed with this insidious disease. The most common childhood cancers include leukemia, brain tumors and lymphomas. Although the cure rate is significantly higher than in the past, there is still much work to be done to improve treatment and living conditions for young patients.

The more people know about the problems faced by children with cancer, the more they are motivated to get involved in fundraising initiatives. International Childhood Cancer Day is an opportunity for all of us to show that we care and that we are ready to make a difference. Whether it's a small gesture or a large donation, all support is important and can bring smiles to the faces of kids.

10 ideas to celebrate cancer awareness month

1.Wear a gold ribbon

A gold ribbon is a symbol of support to children battling cancer. It carries a strong message of support and hope for all who are diagnosed with this disease. Encourage your friends to wear a gold ribbon on their clothing on this day as well.

2.Change your profile picture

Social media is a powerful tool for spreading information of all kinds. Apply a gold filter to your profile picture as a show of support. This simple change can spark conversations and encourage your followers to do the same. You can also use hashtags like #DayForChildren'sCancer or #SupportForChildren to expand the reach of your message.

3.Organize a benefit concert

One of the most fun and engaging ways to support sick children is to organize a benefit concert. Invite musical groups or other artists, school bands or even professional musicians to perform. The event can be live or online, with funds raised from tickets or donations going towards supporting the children and their families. Charity concerts not only raise much needed funds but also bring a large group of people together.

4.Give of your personal time

Volunteering is one of the most valuable ways to help. Whether it's reading books at a pediatric hospital, organizing events, or helping with the logistics of charity campaigns, your time and effort can make a huge difference. From local initiatives to online projects you can do from home, there are many volunteer opportunities. Find a cause that inspires you and get active to show your support.

5.Speak up for children

Open conversations about childhood cancers are key to raising awareness. Share stories of children battling the disease and their families on social media, blogs and more. Organize online or offline events where you can talk about the challenges and difficulties they struggle with on a daily basis. The more people know about the problem, the more support they can offer.

6.Create gift baskets

Gift baskets are a great way to bring joy to children who spend a long time in hospitals for treatment. Collect small but meaningful items such as coloring books, plush toys, puzzles or sweet treats. Wrap them beautifully and add a gold ribbon to highlight the importance of the initiative. Handing out these baskets in person or through hospital staff will bring smiles and a little comfort to the children and their families.

7.Start fundraising

Organizing a fundraising campaign is an effective way to help children with cancer and their families. You can use crowdfunding platforms to create your own donation campaign. The money raised can support the treatment, psychological support and other needs of children and their loved ones.

8.Workplace fundraising

The workplace is the ideal place to organize fundraising campaigns. Join forces with your colleagues and create a programme to support children with cancer. Organise charity events such as auctions or other initiatives.

9.Donate to a non-profit organization

Donating to non-profit organizations that are dedicated to supporting children with cancer is a direct way to do good. Choose an organization that aligns with your values-whether it's through research, treatment, or supporting families. Your donations can help fund new treatments, provide psychological support, or cover families' daily needs.

10.Organise a charity marathon or walk

Sporting events are a fun and engaging way to raise funds and awareness in the community. Organize an event in your city or neighborhood and invite friends, family and neighbors to join in. This is a great opportunity to combine physical activity with charity and have fun while helping a worthwhile cause.

Crowdfunding to help children with cancer

Crowdfunding is a modern and effective way of fundraising that allows people around the world to come together and support a specific cause. At its core, crowdfunding is a process in which multiple people make small or large donations through online platforms to raise the necessary funds for a specific cause. For sick children, this could mean funding treatment, supporting families or providing funds for research.

The benefits of crowdfunding campaigns are many. Firstly, they allow campaigns to reach a wide audience and raise the necessary funds quickly and efficiently. Crowdfunding is a powerful tool for change that can bring hope and real help to children with cancer.
