Bill > J01700

This resolution commemorates the tenth annual Sock Out Cancer Day on June 7, 2026, which coincides with National Cancer Survivors Day, recognizing the efforts of Sock Out Cancer, LLC and its supporters in assisting financially distressed cancer patients with non-medical needs like food, housing, and transportation. The resolution highlights past events, such as benefit concerts and sporting event collaborations, that have raised over $2.08 million to help patients across New York State, and notes the production of signature multi-colored socks, representing various cancer types, manufactured by Finger Lakes Textiles, a division of Mozaic, which employs individuals with varying abilities. This legislative body is acknowledging these initiatives to encourage similar programs in other communities and to show solidarity with those fighting cancer by wearing the organization's socks.
