Juliana’s Journey Foundation is excited to announce this Monday the State of California will declare September as Childhood Cancer Awareness month in honor of Juliana’s Journey Foundation and all the children that have suffered from this cruel disease. The City of South San Francisco will follow with their own Proclamation at the next Council Meeting.
JFF has been very busy between fundraising efforts to underwrite new clinical trials up at UCSF as well as garnering awareness for childhood cancers. The Foundation Board Members met up with Daly City Mayor David Canepa and Ca. State Assemblymen Kevin Mullin at the meet and greet session at Philz Cofffee Shop in January and were able to share some of their concerns and goals. They were met with encouragement and plans of action.
