            (1) supports the designation of ``Community Is Stronger 
        Than Cancer Day'';
            (2) encourages all people of the United States to support 
        those impacted by cancer by providing support, fostering 
        compassionate communities, and breaking down barriers to care 
        to all affected; and
            (3) aims to celebrate inspiration, companionship, 
        connection, and hope for all communities impacted by cancer.
