Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Assembly Resolution (A 302) requests Governor Hochul to proclaim April 2025 as Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month in New York State. It does not create new laws but asks the Governor to issue a formal recognition to highlight challenges faced by teens and young adults (AYAs) with cancer. The resolution emphasizes support from local organizations like 13thirty Cancer Connect, which provides wellness programs, peer support, and creative activities tailored to AYA cancer patients. The goal is to increase public awareness and community engagement around this underserved group’s needs.
