Buckets of Smiles Day, recognized
This resolution designates April 17, 2025, as "Buckets of Smiles Day" in Alabama. It recognizes the work of the nonprofit organization Buckets of Smiles, which provides hospital-approved activity kits to children with cancer in Alabama and raises funds for childhood cancer awareness and research. The resolution encourages Alabama residents to acknowledge this day to support children fighting cancer and advocate for improved treatments. As a commemorative resolution, it has no binding policy impact but highlights the organization's efforts to deliver over 1,500 activity buckets and establish scholarships for cancer survivors.
