SUMMARY: Proclaims the month of September 2016 as Childhood
Cancer Awareness Month, and states the commitment of the
Legislature to support efforts to find cures for, and achieve
prevention of, childhood cancer. Specifically, this resolution
makes the following legislative findings:
1)Cancer is a leading cause of death by disease among children
in this country; and many children in California are afflicted
with cancer, experiencing enormous pain and suffering, and
they and their families require extraordinary levels of
information and support in their struggles against the
disease.

the fight against this terrible disease.

tool for raising awareness among governmental officials and
the public about the nature and scope of this problem.
4)Increased public awareness of this major public health problem
is a crucial step toward finding solutions.
