Banded Together with Livestrong at School 

Livestrong at School has provided over four million students with age-appropriate curriculum designed to help kids learn about cancer. This September, we’re asking teachers to band their students together and fund-raise to help support: 

• Classmates and families living with cancer 

• Children’s Cancer Awareness Month (September) 

• Livestrong, solving the everyday practical problems for kids with cancer 

Let’s Help the Kids and Their Families 

Each year, there are an estimated 15,780 children under 19 years of age diagnosed with cancer in the United States. Worldwide, a family hears the devastating words that their child has been diagnosed with cancer every three minutes. 

When kids are diagnosed with cancer, they can’t attend school and miss time with their friends and classmates. In addition to isolation, many kids experience problems like nausea, loss of appetite, and malnutrition. Families are also overburdened with expensive medical bills, and at times don’t even have access to reliable transportation to bring their kids to treatments. 

We believe kids and families deserve a better today, not just hope for a better tomorrow. Livestrong solves these problems by investing in practical, everyday solutions that help families and kids live strong. But we can’t help kids and families dealing with a cancer diagnosis without support. Now more than ever, we need your help raising money to keep our services free and accessible to the families that need them most.
