The bill H. 5237, introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives, aims to honor cancer patients, survivors, and their families while also remembering those who have lost their lives to cancer. It declares Wednesday, March 4, 2026, as "Suits and Sneakers Day" in South Carolina. This initiative is part of a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, which seeks to raise cancer awareness and promote healthy living through various advocacy programs and fundraising activities.

The resolution highlights the significant impact of cancer in South Carolina, with an estimated 36,000 residents expected to be diagnosed in 2026. It emphasizes the challenges faced by cancer patients, including physical, emotional, and financial burdens, and underscores the importance of effective policies to combat cancer. The resolution concludes with a commitment to present a copy of the resolution to Governor Henry McMaster and the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives.
