Bill > HRes466

This resolution supports the designation of the first Tuesday in June as "National Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day" by acknowledging the significant impact of cancer in the United States. The resolution highlights that an estimated 2,041,910 new cancer cases will be diagnosed in 2025, with approximately 18,100,000 cancer survivors currently in the country. It defines a cancer survivor as anyone diagnosed with cancer from the time of diagnosis through the rest of their life, and recognizes that cancer treatments can have severe physical and psychological side effects. The resolution specifically endorses the "Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day" event, which is a volunteer-driven initiative where professionals from the spa and beauty industries provide free services to cancer survivors. This event, which has been operating since 2003 and now includes thousands of salons across all 50 states, is unique in that it does not solicit funds before, during, or after the event. By supporting this designation, the resolution aims to recognize the importance of support for cancer survivors and their families, emphasizing that men, women, and children of all ages are affected by cancer.
