Cancer Awareness Campaigns by Month: A Year-Round Guide for Patients and Caregivers
Cancer touches lives in every season of the year—not just during a single awareness month. For patients navigating diagnosis and treatment, and for caregivers providing daily support, awareness campaigns can serve as important reminders that education, advocacy, and community are always present. Each month highlights specific cancers, bringing attention to prevention, early detection, research, and the lived experiences of those affected.
This guide offers a clear, month-by-month overview of cancer awareness campaigns and their corresponding ribbon colors. Whether you are seeking information after a new diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or looking for meaningful ways to participate in awareness efforts, understanding these campaigns can help you stay informed, connected, and empowered throughout the year.
