The bill, S. 964, is a Senate Resolution that aims to honor cancer patients, survivors, and their families while also remembering those who have lost their battle with cancer. It designates March 4, 2026, as "Suits and Sneakers Day" in South Carolina. This initiative is a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, which seeks to leverage the influence of coaches nationwide to raise awareness about cancer and promote healthy living through various advocacy and fundraising efforts.

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 supporting policies aimed at preventing, detecting, and treating cancer. By recognizing this day, the Senate aims to honor the contributions of cancer survivors, caregivers, and advocates in the fight against cancer.
