A senate RESOLUTION
TO honor cancer patients, survivors, and their families by recognizing february 15, 2023, AS "Suits and Sneakers Day" IN the SOUTH CAROLINA senate.
Whereas, Suits and Sneakers is a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. Suits and Sneakers aims to leverage the personal experiences, community leadership, and professional excellence of coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness efforts, fundraising activities, and advocacy programs; and
Whereas, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network empowers advocates across the state to make their voices heard and to influence evidence-based public policy change that will reduce the cancer burden in our State; and
Whereas, it is estimated that over thirty thousand South Carolinians will be diagnosed with cancer in 2023; and
Whereas, cancer patients face countless challenges associated with their diagnoses, including physical, emotional, financial, and day-to-day challenges; and
Whereas, it is more important than ever to support efforts to combat cancer, including legislative efforts; and
Whereas, effective policies have the potential to prevent, detect, and treat cancer, thus saving countless lives and significantly reducing the financial strain that cancer places on South Carolinians and our great State; and
Whereas, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network would like to recognize all cancer survivors, caregivers, and advocates. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, honor cancer patients, survivors, and their families by recognizing February 15, 2023 as "Suits and Sneakers Day" in South Carolina.
