Childhood Cancer Awareness in Virginia (How you can help)

July 9, 2021

What can you do to help bring awareness to the needs of families impacted by Childhood Cancer in Virginia? I’m so glad you asked!

For September’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Go Gold Virginia is looking for 337 businesses and homes around the state to light up gold to bring attention to the needs of the 337 children diagnosed with cancer each year in Virginia. 

The #gogoldva statewide campaign will kick off on September 1st with Virginia First Lady Pamela Northam going gold at the Governor’s Executive Mansion! The mansion will be lighting up for the entire month.

Find out more and sign the pledge at gogoldva.org
