September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and today has been designated East Greenbush Goes Gold Day🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️
A Resolution Recognizing September as “CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH” and September 29, 2023 as “East Greenbush Goes Gold Day”
WHEREAS, the American Cancer Society reports that cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among United States children between infancy and age 15, and estimates that more than 10,000 children will be diagnosed with cancer each year; and
WHEREAS, although progress has been made in combating pediatric cancer, approximately 1,050 children younger than 15 years old will lose their battle with cancer; and many infants, children and teens will suffer from long-term side effects of comprehensive treatment, including secondary cancers; and
WHEREAS, there is significant progress that still must be made with regard to childhood cancer treatment; progress towards an effective treatment is painfully slow with dramatically fewer new FDA approved treatments for childhood cancer approved each year than for cancer in adults; and
WHEREAS, the designation of September as “Childhood Cancer Awareness Month” could increase the rate of early detection, lead to newer and improved treatments, and an overall higher survival rate for children diagnosed with the condition; and
WHEREAS, the Town of East Greenbush wishes to support the fight against childhood cancer in any way possible so that we may give any child afflicted with cancer the best chance possible; and
WHEREAS, “East Greenbush Goes Gold” is an initiative intended to raise awareness of the issue of childhood cancers, and this Board would like to support such a campaign to help raise awareness in honor of young patients, their loved ones, and all those who support them;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that September 2023 is designated "Childhood Cancer Awareness Month" in the Town of East Greenbush to promote awareness of pediatric cancer and to support the brave children who battle cancer every day;
and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Town Board encourages participation in Go Gold in September by designating Friday, September 29, 2023 as “East Greenbush Goes Gold” Day.
and be it further
RESOLVED, that the September 29, 2023 designation of “East Greenbush Goes Gold” Day will be in memory of Sean Jucha.
