A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR CANCER 
PATIENTS, SURVIVORS, AND THEIR FAMILIES, TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN 
LOST TO CANCER, AND TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 2026, 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 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 influence evidence-based public policy change that 
will reduce the cancer burden on our State; and

Whereas, it is 
estimated that more than thirty-six thousand South Carolinians will be 
diagnosed with cancer in 2026; 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 difficult legislation, it is more 
important than ever to support efforts to combat cancer; and

Whereas, not only will 
effective policies serve to prevent, detect, and treat cancer and save 
countless lives, but they will significantly reduce the financial strain that 
this disease 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 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, 
March 4, as "Suits and Sneakers Day" in South Carolina.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Governor Henry McMaster and to 
the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives.
