   01/21/20  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 58)

TO HONOR CANCER PATIENTS, SURVIVORS, AND THEIR FAMILIES, TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOST TO CANCER, AND TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2020, AS "SUITS AND SNEAKERS DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, Suits and Sneakers is a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. Together they 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 choices heard and influences evidence-based public policy changes that will reduce the cancer burden on our state; and

Whereas, it is estimated that more than thirty-one thousand South Carolinians will be diagnosed with cancer in 2020; and

Whereas, cancers patients face countless challenges associated with their diagnoses, including physical, emotional, financial, and day-to-day challenges; and

Whereas, South Carolina continues to navigate through tough legislation, it is more important than ever to support efforts to combat cancer; and

Whereas, not only will effective policies prevent, detect, and treat cancer and save countless lives, they will significantly reduce the financial strain that this disease places on South Carolinians and our great State. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor cancer patients, survivors, and their families, remember those people who have been lost to cancer, and declare Wednesday, February 5, 2020, as "Suits and Sneakers Day" in South Carolina.
