HOUSE RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING MAY 27, 2025, AS "ALS AWARENESS DAY" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

HR 6366 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing May 27, 2025, as "ALS Awareness Day" in Rhode Island. It formally acknowledges the impact of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) through statements about its severity and the work of ALS United Rhode Island, the state's sole nonprofit dedicated to supporting ALS patients and families. The resolution encourages all Rhode Islanders to learn about ALS, support affected individuals, and participate in ALS United RI's annual Soak Challenge event on June 1, 2025. It does not create new laws or allocate funds, but serves as a symbolic gesture of recognition and advocacy.
