COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 05, 2017 -- The U.S. Senate, with unanimous consent, has designated September as National Child Awareness Month (NCAM) for the 10th consecutive year (U.S. Senate Resolution 249). NCAM serves as a rallying cry to U.S. children’s charities to set aside their individual agendas in September to raise awareness for all children’s causes. The initiative has resulted in 133,683 volunteer hours, with more than 2 million children benefitting from partnerships and grants.

NCAM was created in 2008 by Sandy Segerstrom Daniels, founder and executive director of the national non-profit Festival of Children Foundation (FOCF). NCAM has received continual bipartisan Senate support with key sponsors including Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who has sponsored the resolution each year, Senator James Lankford (R-OK), and Senator Richard Burr (R-NC), among many others.
“From day one, our mission has been to inspire the nation to invest in our children, and to promote collaboration among children’s charities,” said Segerstrom Daniels. “We are encouraged by the U.S. Senate’s enduring support and will continue to work to redirect our country’s focus on the needs of our children.”
“Non-profits and charities in our local communities play a vital role in helping our children succeed and live happy, healthy lives,” said Senator Feinstein. “They help children learn, improve access to health care and aid in the development of skills needed to thrive in a complex, challenging world. Children are our future and we all play a role in helping them thrive.”
Lankford added, “To the unsung heroes that work with charities and non-profits that support our children and youth throughout our country, thank you. It is the hard work and dedication of the employees, volunteers, and contributors of child and youth-serving organizations that help our communities nurture positive programs and safe places to help families foster strong children across the U.S. I am proud to join Senator Feinstein to recognize September as National Child Awareness Month.”
Festival of Children Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, serves to unite and coordinate the efforts of charities, companies and individuals who work to improve the lives of children. 100% of the administrative costs are covered by designated funding, allowing donations to go further in direct support of programs and services that improve the lives of children nationwide.
