Organization:
G9 is the first of its kind. G9 is a national effort to raise awareness and financial support for childhood cancer research and the development of new treatments. The primary purpose of the G9 brand and fundraising model is to elevate, with the help of our G9 Partners, the understanding of the great need for increased resources for childhood cancer research at all levels (local, regional, and national).
The concept for Gold In September (G9) was created by Annie Bartosz, only 11-years-old at the time, who saw the nation turn pink in October for Breast Cancer, and became determined to turn the world GOLD IN SEPTEMBER for kids battling cancer. Traveling around the country for various treatments with her twin brother Jack, who had his own fight with pediatric cancer, Annie was eyewitness to the critical need for advancement in research and treatments. Annie said, "When a child is diagnosed with cancer it affects the family and the community. It's devastating. My goal is to get everyone thinking about and wearing gold in September so we can bring an end to childhood cancer."
