SUMMARY: Designates Sunday, June 7, 2015, as California Cancer
Survivors Day, to coincide with National Cancer Survivors Day.
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)National Cancer Survivors Day is an annual, treasured
celebration of life that is held in hundreds of communities
nationwide, and around the world, on the first Sunday of June to
celebrate those who have survived, an inspiration for those
recently diagnosed, a gathering of support for families, and an

outreach to the community.
2)California Cancer Survivors Day provides an opportunity for all
people living with a history of cancer, including America's more
than 14 million cancer survivors, to connect with each other,
celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have supported
them along the way.
3)Due to advances in cancer prevention, early detection,
treatment, and follow up care, more people than ever before are
surviving the disease. Nonetheless, surviving cancer can leave
a host of problems from physical, emotional, and financial
hardships which often persist for years after diagnosis and
treatment.
4)The National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation believes that more
resources, research, and survivor-friendly legislation are
needed to improve the quality of life of cancer survivors, both
during and after treatment.
