          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.

          2)California has many of the world's finest medical, academic,  
            and commercial institutions, and must continue as a leader in  
            the fight against this terrible disease.


          3)Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is an important nationwide  
            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.
