H.R. No. 383
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, On February 16, 2011, supporters are gathering at
  the State Capitol to celebrate Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy
  Day; and
         WHEREAS, Founded in 1982 by Dallas resident Nancy G. Brinker,
  Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network
  fighting to end breast cancer; the association is sustained by more
  than 100,000 breast cancer survivors and activists in over 120
  cities and communities; and
         WHEREAS, In the United States, a woman receives a diagnosis
  of breast cancer every three minutes; it was expected that, in 2010,
  more than 200,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer would occur
  among women and that nearly 40,000 women would succumb to the
  disease; in addition, it was anticipated that almost 2,000 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, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has invested nearly $2
  billion to date into its goal of eradicating this devastating
  disease; 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 provide breast health
  education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects in the
  area; the remaining net income, a minimum of 25 percent, supports
  the Komen Award and Research Grant Programs, which fund
  groundbreaking breast cancer research, meritorious awards, and
  educational and scientific programs around the world; and
         WHEREAS, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has played a critical
  role 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,
  2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States attest to
  the power of social action and science to save lives; and
         WHEREAS, Breast cancer touches the lives of thousands of
  individuals across the Lone Star State, and Susan G. 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 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 16, 2011, as Susan G. Komen
  for the Cure Advocacy Day in Texas and extend to all those
  associated with the group sincere appreciation for their commitment
  to such an important cause.
