  • National Hispanic Heritage Month[pro]: To honor the achievements of Hispanics in America, the Congress by Public Law 100-402, as amended, has authorized and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating September 15 through October 15 as "National Hispanic Heritage Month". According to the Presidential Proclamation,
    Throughout our history, our Nation has been enriched by the storied pasts of all who call the United States of America home. America's Hispanic community has woven unique threads into the diverse fabric of our country and played an important role in shaping our national character as a people of limitless possibility. This month, let us honor their distinct heritage while reaffirming our commitment to enabling them to build a future bright with hope and opportunity for themselves, their families, and the country we love.
    • Breast Cancer Awareness Month[pro]: During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we recognize all those who know the anguish of breast cancer, and we redouble our efforts to improve care and bring attention to this disease.
      • National Disability Employment Awareness Month: (a) Designation.— October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. (b) Ceremonies.— Appropriate ceremonies shall be held throughout the United States during National Disability Employment Awareness Month to enlist public support for, and interest in, the employment of workers with disabilities who are otherwise qualified. Governors, mayors, heads of other governmental entities, and interested organizations and individuals are invited to participate in the ceremonies. (c) Proclamation.— The President is requested to issue each year a suitable proclamation.
        • National Arts and Humanities Month[pro]: National Arts and Humanities Month is a time to celebrate the rich heritage of arts and humanities and how they have helped shape this country.
          Over centuries of change -- through trial and triumph -- the arts and humanities have chronicled history in ways that have brought the past to life and provided a vivid vision for our journey forward. Today, we continue to live in an ever-changing world, and the arts and humanities help us experience it in truer colors and tones. When we harness our artistic creativity -- from canvases to concertos -- we can give shape to our emotions and channel our innermost hopes. During National Arts and Humanities Month, we celebrate artistic expression in all its forms and honor the ways they help define the great American story.
          • German Heritage Month[oh-sp]: The month of October is designated as "German Heritage Month" to honor and recognize Ohioans of German descent and their contributions to this state.
            • Ohio Hepatitis C Awareness Month[oh-sp]: The month of October is designated as "Ohio hepatitis C awareness month," to increase public awareness of hepatitis C as an emerging health concern.
