MI SR0157

Commemorates April 19, 2016, as Suits and Sneakers Day in Michigan to support the Coaches vs. Cancer program, a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

Recognizes that more than 57,000 Michiganders were newly diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and that cancer patients face physical, emotional, financial, and day-to-day challenges.

Notes that since 1993, coaches and supporters have raised more than $87 million for the American Cancer Society through the Coaches vs. Cancer program.

Urges all Michiganders to use Suits and Sneakers Day as an opportunity to educate themselves about cancer, take proactive steps to reduce their risks, and obtain appropriate health screenings.
