“Dear Heavenly Father,

Guide our hands and hearts today as we do Your work for the people of Michigan this day…

Bless the families of Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsula as they struggle to meet their daily needs…

And Lord, please be with the Besonen Family of Bruce Crossing as they mourn the loss of their son Cam this past weekend.

Lord, he was lost in the wilderness but he is now found in Your arms…

We ask all this in Your name Lord, Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Rendon, Brenda Carter, Wendzel, Wozniak, Whiteford, Farrington, Alexander, Tisdel, Borton, Markkanen, Schroeder, Hood, Stone, Kuppa, Aiyash, Wakeman, Jones, Yancey, Garza, Hope, Rogers, Sneller, Weiss, Witwer and Yaroch offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 89.

A resolution to declare April 28, 2021, as Suits and Sneakers Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches, 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 saves lives and creates a world with more birthdays by helping people stay well, helping people get well, finding cures, and fighting back in partnership with its nonpartisan advocacy affiliate, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network; and

Whereas, More than 62,150 Michiganders will be newly-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, Since 1993, coaches and their supporters have raised more than $135 million for the American Cancer Society to help make the American Cancer Society’s services and programs available to those who need them the most; and

Whereas, During January 25-31, 2021, the Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers Awareness nationwide effort united coaches across the country to wear sneakers with their game attire while coaching games. It also encouraged lawmakers and others to similarly wear suits and sneakers to raise awareness about the fight against cancer, share the importance of nutrition and physical activity in reducing one’s cancer risk, and promote the American Cancer Society as a resource for help and support; and

Whereas, The Coaches vs. Cancer Suits And Sneakers effort saw Michigan coaches join together with their fellow coaches nationwide, as well as thousands of volunteers for the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, to advocate on behalf of cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers so that one day cancer will be eliminated as a major public health issue; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 28, 2021, as Suits and Sneakers Day in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge all Michiganders to use this day as an opportunity to educate themselves about cancer and take proactive steps to reduce cancer risk factors and get appropriate cancer screenings.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
