Join kids and teens nationwide and raise your voice to remind the adults you care about to prioritize regular health screenings and embrace the life-saving power of early detection.
Why Are Screenings Important?
You have the power to make a difference in your family's health.
Ask your parents, grandparents, or loved ones these questions to help them take charge of their health with early detection and annual health screenings.
Download a print-friendly version of our 5-question checklist and hang it on the fridge, or keep it in your binder or with your school supplies.
Because when kids and teens speak up about early detection, they can help their families make screenings a priority.
Our mission is to empower kids and teens to spark conversations with their families about the life-saving power of early detection. Together, we can raise awareness about regular health screenings and make early cancer detection a powerful tool for saving lives.

When breast cancer is detected early and is still localized, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.

Cervical Cancer
Regular cervical cancer screenings, such as Pap smears and HPV tests, are highly effective. When detected early, the 5-year survival rate is nearly 100%.

Prostate Cancer
Since 1990, prostate cancer mortality rates have decreased by 90%. This decline is often attributed to an increase in PSA screenings.
