The resolution recognizes April 17, 2025, as "Buckets of Smiles Day" in the State of Alabama to raise awareness about childhood cancer, which is the leading cause of disease-related death among children. It highlights the alarming statistic that one in 285 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with cancer by their 20th birthday, with over 190 diagnoses occurring annually in Alabama alone. The resolution also acknowledges the efforts of Buckets of Smiles, a nonprofit organization founded by Ella Kate Nichols in 2017, which aims to bring joy to children battling cancer by providing activity items in hospitals. The organization has raised significant funds, delivered thousands of care packages, and established a scholarship for childhood cancer survivors.

The resolution encourages the residents of Alabama to observe Buckets of Smiles Day as a means to promote awareness of the challenges faced by children with cancer and the necessity for improved treatment options. It emphasizes the importance of advocacy and fundraising for research that seeks to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce side effects, with the ultimate goal of finding a cure for childhood cancer.
