Labor Day, the unofficial mark of the end of summer, is usually celebrated with barbecues, sports,
road trips, and a long weekend of fun and leisure. Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a
creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of
American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made
to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. Today we honor the hard-working
citizens of the United States!

Families, caregivers, charities and research groups
across the United States observe September as
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In the
U.S., 15,780 children under the age of 21 are
diagnosed with cancer every year; approximately
1/4 of them will not survive the disease. A
diagnosis turns the lives of the entire family
upside down. The objective of Childhood Cancer
Awareness Month is to put a spotlight on the
types of cancer that largely affect children,
survivorship issues, and to help raise funds for
research and family support.
