Through September, Phoenix Children’s Hospital is asking the Phoenix community to ‘Go Gold’ during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. More than 300 child patients are diagnosed of cancer each year at Phoenix Children’s Hospital and that doesn’t include those already fighting the disease. More than 90 patients who receive chemotherapy and other treatment in the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders every single day.
Phoenix Children’s Hospital’s goal with the ‘Go Gold’ campaign is to raise $1 million during the month to benefit the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. With the vast increase in cancer diagnosis of children, one every three and a half minutes actually, Phoenix Children’s is expanding the center and wing of their building to tend to hundreds of more patients every year. Local businesses and the community is urged to show support during the month of September for their ‘Go Gold’ campaign.
