Black Family Cancer Awareness Week

National Black Family Cancer Awareness Week, June 15, 2023 through June 21, 2023.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is purposefully using the week of June 15-21 as a way to help increase cancer awareness in one of the most vulnerable segments of the U.S. population. The goal is to marshal community-based stakeholders to build knowledge surrounding cancer clinical trial participation and minority population specimen donations to national genetic databases for cancer research. To participate on social media, use #BlackFamCan.
