Title
A Proclamation In Recognition Of Breast Cancer Awareness Month - 2015.
Body
Staff Recommends: Presentation of Proclamation.
Explanation:
October 2015 is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast Cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women; second only to lung cancer. Breast Cancer mainly occurs in women, but men can get it too. Research shows that deaths from Breast Cancer could be reduced significantly by routine screenings, including mammographies, regular examinations by a physician, and monthly self-examinations. During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we renew our commitment to fighting this disease, raising awareness, and supporting those affected by Breast Cancer.
