NATIONAL CANCER SURVIVORS DAY (NCSD) 2020 ? SUNDAY, JUNE 7th
National Cancer Survivors Day? is an annual, treasured Celebration of Life that is held in hundreds of communities nationwide, and around the world, on the first Sunday in June. It is a CELEBRATION for those who have survived, an INSPIRATION for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of SUPPORT for families, and an OUTREACH to the community.
Whether you're a cancer survivor, a family member, friend, or medical professional, it is a day for everyone. This day provides an opportunity for all people living with a history of cancer ? including America's more than 15.5 million cancer survivors ? to connect with each other, celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have supported them along the way. It is also a day to draw attention to the ongoing challenges of cancer survivorship in order to promote more resources, research, and survivor-friendly legislation to improve cancer survivors' quality of life.

CPR Awareness Week: June 1st ? 7th
In 2007, the AHA in coalition with the American Red Cross and the National Safety Council worked collaboratively to federally designate a National CPR and AED Awareness Week. On December 13, 2007, Congress unanimously passed a resolution to set aside June 1-7 each year as National CPR and AED Awareness Week to spotlight how lives can be saved if more Americans know CPR and how to use an AED. In the declaration, Congress asked states and municipalities to make AEDs more publicly accessible. During this week each year, CPR/AED classes and demonstrations are conducted, events are hosted and educational information is distributed on the importance of being trained in CPR and AED use. We encourage you to find out about local events in your area! The American Heart Association invites you to celebrate National CPR and AED Awareness Week in your community. To get started, the AHA has created free materials that you can print on your home or office printer. Bring CPR training to your workplace to significantly increase CPR awareness and cardiac arrest survival rates. Visit for additional information.
