What are all the gold-colored ribbons about? They are for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Although many colors were considered, gold was agreed upon as the ideal choice for childhood cancer awareness because gold is a precious metal and is therefore the perfect color to reflect the most precious thing in our lives-our children.
Cancer can be a scary word, especially when it comes to children. Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is recognized every September by childhood cancer organizations around the world with the goal to raise awareness and funds for research.
