Expressing support for the designation of the first Tuesday in June as 
          ``National Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day''.

Whereas it is estimated that 2,041,910 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in 
        the United States in 2025;
Whereas the lifetime probability of a male or female developing cancer is 
        roughly 2 in 5;
Whereas a cancer survivor is defined as anyone who has been diagnosed with 
        cancer, from the time of diagnosis through the balance of his or her 
        life;
Whereas the National Cancer Institute reports that there are 18,100,000 cancer 
        survivors in the United States;
Whereas cancer treatments can have severe, prolonged, or permanent side effects, 
        both physical and psychological;
Whereas men, women, and children all have been diagnosed with and battled 
        cancer;
Whereas it is important to recognize the value of support for all men, women, 
        and children who are cancer survivors and the positive impact support 
        has for both patients and families;
Whereas ``Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'' is a purely volunteer event 
        where thousands of volunteers from the spa, beauty, and related 
        industries freely give their support and services to all cancer 
        survivors;
Whereas ``Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'' has expanded to thousands of 
        salons in all 50 States since its inception in 2003;
Whereas ``Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'' is recognized by both State 
        and local governments;
Whereas ``Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'' is the only event of its 
        kind, with no solicitation of funds either before, during, or after the 
        event; and
Whereas the first Tuesday in June would be an appropriate date to designate as 
        ``National Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day'': Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``National Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day''.
