The resolution recognizes the significant impact of brain tumors and cancers on individuals and families across all demographics in the United States, particularly highlighting their prevalence among children and adolescents. It notes that brain tumors are the most common solid cancer in individuals aged 19 and younger, with approximately 200 diagnoses occurring annually in Rhode Island alone. The resolution emphasizes the distinction between benign and malignant tumors, both of which can have serious health implications, and underscores the need for treatment to prevent further brain injury.

In light of these concerns, the resolution designates May 2025 as "Brain Cancer and Tumor Awareness Month" in Rhode Island. It calls on all residents to acknowledge the importance of research, funding, and support for those affected by brain tumors and cancers. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to relevant organizations, including the Rhode Island Brain and Spine Tumor Foundation and the American Brain Tumor Association, to promote awareness and support for ongoing efforts in this area.
