International Neuroblastoma Awareness Day: December 5, 2024

11/10/2024

Because there is no such thing as too much awareness, International Neuroblasoma Awareness Week will be joining with Shir For Life (from Israel) in uniting parents, patients, professionals, and organizations to kick off Neuroblastoma Day.

Launching December 5th is a global initiative, starting with an International Neuroblastoma Awareness Day—a day dedicated to shining a global spotlight on this disease and bringing together the amazing communities, researchers, and advocates working so hard to fight it.

International Neuroblastoma Awareness Week: June 10th - June 16th, 2024

6/4/2024

The 2024 International Neuroblastoma Awareness Week will be held on June 10 - June 16, 2024. The annual event starts on the second Monday of June each year, and concludes on the third Sunday of that month, which is traditionally Father's Day in North America. Darrel's Playground has proudly served as the Canadian Administrator for this event in the past.

Thank You for supporting and remembering the children and the families that have been touched by neuroblastoma, and those who continue their brave fight still today. While some may call it an "orphan" or "rare" disease, the truth is it affects countless families EACH and EVERY day.
