A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO HONOR CANCER PATIENTS, SURVIVORS, AND THEIR FAMILIES, TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOST TO CANCER, AND TO DECLARE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2019, 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 voices heard and enables them to influence evidence-based public-policy change that will reduce the cancer burden on our State; and

Whereas, more than thirty thousand South Carolinians will be diagnosed with cancer in 2019; and

Whereas, cancer patients face countless challenges associated with their diagnoses, including physical, emotional, financial, and other 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 also they will significantly reduce the financial strain this disease puts 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 Tuesday, February 5, 2019, as "Suits and Sneakers Day" in South Carolina.
