Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - September

I couldn’t find a comprehensive list for the U.S. and I am out of time now. But there are plenty of hits through both search engines I used.

February is Black History Month and March is Women’s History Month. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

All these are in the US.
