WHEREAS, every October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we honor those women battling breast cancer, along with the families, researchers, and health care providers whose hard work gives hope to those living with breast cancer, and;
WHEREAS, we want to encourage all residents, government agencies, and local businesses to participate in activities that will increase awareness of the fight against breast cancer.
