Corpus Christi (KIII News) — The City of Corpus Christi is joining in the fight against pediatric cancer by officially declaring September as National Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month.
The Ready or Not Foundation is working with Brooke's Blossoming Hope and the American Cancer Foundation to create a new team to help raise awareness for pediatric cancer. The group of 40-women call themselves the gold guild and offer different events and fundraisers around town.
