A PROCLAMATION OF THE TROPHY CLUB TOWN COUNCIL
SUPPORTING OCTOBER 2021 AS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
MONTH IN TROPHY CLUB.
WHEREAS, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the
United States accounting for 30% of newly diagnosed cancers; and
WHEREAS, in 2021, about 281,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be
diagnosed in women, with 2,650 new cases will be diagnosed in men. Every 2 minutes,
one case of breast cancer is diagnosed in a woman in the United States; and
WHEREAS, mammography, an "x-ray of the breast," is recognized as the single
most effective method of detecting breast changes long before physical symptoms can
be seen or felt. Early detection and improved treatment has significantly reduced the
number of deaths caused by breast cancer; and
WHEREAS, researchers, scientists, and numerous nonprofit organizations are
dedicated to discovering the cure for breast cancer. During the month of October, we
acknowledge the extraordinary commitment and effort invested in this cause; and
WHEREAS, recognizing that over 3.5 million Americans are Breast Cancer
Survivors gives us hope as we extend a deep respect for survivors and advocates for
prevention and a cure.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, MAYOR ALICIA L. FLEURY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE TROPHY CLUB TOWN COUNCIL, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM:
OCTOBER 2021 AS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
PASSED AND APPROVED by the Trophy Club Town Council this 27th day of
