Health and Fitness : SEPTEMBER IS CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH DONATE BLOOD 9/26/25

Donate Blood at Your Community Blood Drive & Make a Difference Today!

Every day, children in our community wake up to

a fight they never chose, the fight against cancer. This September, LifeServe Blood

Center is honoring Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by remembering that behind

every statistic is a brave warrior.

Cancer treatment is tough on anyone, but it is especially hard on kids. Treatments like

chemotherapy and radiation often damage blood cells, leaving children in need of

transfusions to continue fighting their diagnosis safely.

Your donation this September could help a child continue treatment and give families

hope for tomorrow. Schedule your lifesaving blood donation appointment online at

lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800.287.4903.
