Commemorating the 10th Annual Sock Out Cancer Day on June 7, 2026, in conjunction with the observance of National Cancer Survivors Day
This Senate Resolution commemorates the tenth annual Sock Out Cancer Day on June 7, 2026, in conjunction with National Cancer Survivors Day. The bill formally recognizes the efforts of Sock Out Cancer, an organization that raises funds through events like concerts and sporting events to support financially distressed cancer patients with non-medical needs such as food, housing, and transportation. It acknowledges the organization's partnerships with sponsors and its manufacturing of signature multi-colored socks in Waterloo, New York, which represent over 20 different types of cancer. The resolution is directed to the chair and president of Security Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, a major sponsor of the program, and serves as an official acknowledgment of the organization's work rather than creating new laws or funding.
