Since 2006, staff and family representatives of NNCCF have attended Childhood Cancer Action Day, an annual event. The group travels to Washington, DC along with hundreds of other survivors, patients, and advocates from across the nation to visit their Representatives on Capitol Hill, and advocate for important childhood cancer issues currently in front of Congress.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and the gold ribbon is the nationally recognized symbol. On the first day of September, NNCCF launches our Know the Gold Campaign, a 6-month campaign that raises awareness and funds for childhood cancer. Throughout the campaign, NNCCF hands out gold ribbon pins, hosts events such as the Reno arch lighting in partnership with the City of Reno, and facilitates relationships with community partners to fight this devastating disease.
