  H.R. No. 401
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, The first Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Day in
  Texas is being held on February 14, 2007; and
         WHEREAS, Founded in 1982, the Komen Affiliate Network is the
  largest private funder of community-based breast health education
  and breast cancer screening and treatment programs in the nation;
  the network is sustained by more than 100,000 breast cancer
  survivors and activists; and
         WHEREAS, In the United States, a woman receives a diagnosis
  of breast cancer every three minutes, making that disease the most
  frequently diagnosed of all cancers affecting women; it was
  expected that, in 2006, approximately 275,000 new cases of breast
  cancer would occur among women and that 41,000 women would succumb
  to the disease; in addition, it was anticipated that more than 1,700
  cases of breast cancer would be diagnosed among men; and
         WHEREAS, Without a cure, one in eight women in the United
  States will continue to be diagnosed with breast cancer; moreover,
  the next quarter-century will see an estimated 5 million American
  women and 25 million women worldwide diagnosed with breast cancer,
  and more than a million American women and some 10 million women
  worldwide could die; and
         WHEREAS, Komen for the Cure is doing outstanding work in
  combating this devastating illness: up to 75 percent of the net
  income of each Komen domestic affiliate is dedicated to fighting
  breast cancer in the local community, with grants being awarded to
  local hospitals and community organizations that provide breast
  health education and breast cancer screening and treatment for
  medically underserved women; the remaining net income, a minimum of
  25 percent, supports the Komen Award and Research Grant Program,
  which funds groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious
  awards, and educational and scientific programs around the world;
  and
         WHEREAS, Komen for the Cure has played a critical role in
  every major advance in the struggle against breast cancer,
  contributing to such achievements as an increased rate of early
  detection, more research, and a greatly improved five-year survival
  rate; today, 2.3 million breast cancer survivors in the United
  States attest to the power of social action and science to save
  lives; and
         WHEREAS, Over the next decade, Komen for the Cure aims to
  invest more than $600 million in breast health care and treatment
  for the underserved, as well as over $400 million in research; the
  organization also plans to mobilize more than 10 million
  individuals for the fight against the disease; and
         WHEREAS, In support of the first Komen for the Cure Advocacy
  Day in Texas, members of Komen affiliates in Austin, Houston,
  Dallas, San Antonio, and Lubbock are visiting the State Capitol;
  joining them are medical professionals who have received Komen
  grants, as well as several representatives from the national
  organization; and
         WHEREAS, Breast cancer touches the lives of thousands of
  individuals across the Lone Star State, and Komen for the Cure is to
  be commended for the vision, passion, and tenacity it brings to its
  vital mission; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 14, 2007, as the first Susan
  G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Day in Texas and extend to all those
  associated with Komen for the Cure sincere appreciation for their
  commitment to such an important cause.
