We are on our way to lighting the country GOLD during September for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!
Every September, monuments, towers, bridges, and buildings around the world light up in shimmering gold to honor the brave children who fight cancer, the families who support them, and the lives we’ve lost too soon. This is the heart of The Gold Movement — a national call to action, awareness, and compassion.
Why Gold?
Gold is the official color of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. It symbolizes the strength, courage, and resilience of children fighting cancer. Just like gold is a precious metal, every child is priceless. Lighting up landmarks in gold is a powerful, visible tribute to that truth.
The Gold Movement is powered by Blaze of Hope and The 1Voice Foundation, in partnership with a coalition of nonprofit organizations, families, and advocates around the world. Together, we shine a light to say: Our kids matter. Their fight deserves visibility
Share Your Glow
If you see a landmark glowing gold in your city, take a photo, tag us on social media, and use #GoldMovement. Together, we're not just lighting buildings. We're lighting the way toward hope, healing, and a cure.

We’re proud to highlight landmarks going gold in recognition of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, whether coordinated through the Gold Movement or by fellow organizations and advocates. If you know of a landmark in your area that is going gold-let us know! We would love to add it to the calendar!
This September, we invite your city to turn gold. From Times Square to iconic towers and bridges, landmarks will illuminate the night in a golden glow to mark the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
This year, we aim to light up more cities and towns than ever before.
Get Your City Involved
We have worked with city governments, property managers, and landmark owners to coordinate lighting dates and logistics. If you bring The Gold Movement to a landmark near you, let us know about it!
Suggested lighting dates: September 1st - 30th (or any date in September!)
