VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
HONORING CANCER PATIENTS, SURVIVORS, AND THEIR FAMILIES, REMEMBERING THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOST TO CANCER, AND DECLARING WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2021, 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 leveraging 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 influence evidence-based public policy change that will reduce the cancer burden on our State; and
Whereas, it is estimated that more than 31,000 South Carolinians will be diagnosed with cancer in 2021; and
Whereas, cancer patients face countless challenges associated with their diagnoses, including physical, emotional, financial, and day-to-day challenges; and
Whereas, as 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, but they will significantly reduce the financial strain this disease places on South Carolinians and our great State; and
Whereas, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network would like to recognize Dylan Adams, a 13-year-old South Carolinian with a love for baseball and a heart of gold who lost his battle with cancer in October 2020 and ask that Suits and Sneakers 2021 be a day to remember Dylan. 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, their families, remember those people who have been lost to cancer, and declare Wednesday, February 3, 2021, as "Suits and Sneakers Day" in South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that copies be forwarded to the Governor and to all members of the South Carolina House of Representatives.
