 We all know the challenges of Scourge of breast cancer has been and the wonderful community of leaders that's gathered here in the Midlands over many years to come together to support survivors and help people in the greatest times of need. This year we anticipate that there'll be over 271,000 cases of breast cancer diagnosed over almost 5,000 in South Carolina alone. So us coming together the mayor's office along with the Columbia Police Department and the Columbia Fire Rescue to unveil our new breast cancer awareness t-shirts as we do each year all proceeds from the sales of these t-shirts to go to Prisma Health Midlands Foundation for the Bussam Buddies Fund. It's a local 501c3 that provides resources for recovery and emotional healing for women undergoing breast cancer treatment. I want to let folks know you can of course acquire these t-shirts fill out the forms at City Hall at 1737 Main Street, at the Fire Department, Prevention Office 1612 Bull Street, at the Police Department, number one Justice Square in the Vista, the Public Works Department, 2910 Colonial Drive and the Washington Square Payment Center right here at 1136 Washington Street, the corner of Washington and Main Street. The long sleeve shirts of $20 or short sleeve shirts are $15 and it's a wonderful way to support a very worthy cause. Also to be remiss if I didn't encourage you to attend our annual Isabella Law Breakfast. For years it's been held in the City Hall parking lot. This year we'll be moving right here to the heart of the city on Boyd Plaza. It's going to be exciting. It's going to be on October 11th, Friday, October 11th from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. All the bad foods that your loving spouse wants you to eat at home, you can come and have it with us here at Boyd Plaza on October 11th. The tickets are $10 and again an incredibly worthy cause. This is usually the point in the press conference where I invite Chief Holbrook and Chief Jenkins up to show off the t-shirts and they're usually incredibly intimidated that I wear my shirts so much better than they do. The chief decided to go ahead and Chief Holbrook decided to put his on and Chief Jenkins decided he was not even going to be in town. He didn't want to be embarrassed another year. So he said Assistant Chief Helms out to do the hard work. So gentlemen if you don't mind just showing up for a second before you give your comments and we love doing this every year. We certainly think blue goes better with most ensembles so I would encourage the purchase of the blue fundraising t-shirt. Breast cancer touches all of us. It certainly has touched my family. It's an honor to be part of this and it's something again as I said that our department takes very seriously and we look forward to participating in. Something we did a little extra this year is we've also had a throw design. Our beautiful city clerk slash Vanna White's gonna hold that up. We're selling those for $27. You can go to the city website and to our website and again all proceeds go to this very important cause. Thank you Mr. Mayor for the invite. I am not Chief Jenkins as you can tell but he wanted me to send a special message. He does not like to lose. He would like for you to get out obviously to support the cause. Breast cancer is very important and all cancer is important now with the fire service. We've had multiple people in our department that have had issues with breast cancer that are working through them still so it's important for all of us to get out and do our part. This is a great cause. I'm excited again for us to be involved and we just want to say Chief Holbrook is right. Blue sometimes will go with a war but you can get them in fire department blue as well. Long sleeves are available, correct? It will get cooler soon hopefully. So please buy two, a short sleeve and a long sleeve. We want you to support the fire department but more importantly we want you to support the cause. I'm going to invite Kristen Hudson up. She's the events director for the cancer centers at Prisma Health Midlands Foundation. We have a wonderful team of volunteers at the city that help pull this together and help pull together every single year. It's great having partners who every single day are working to make sure that these incredible heroes who have been fighting breast cancer, winning the fight and those who have gone on the glory that their legacy has not been forgotten. So I want to invite Kristen up to say a few words. So thankful to be here today on behalf of Prisma Health Midlands Foundation to honor this cause and thank you all including the City of Columbia particularly. We enjoy partnering with y'all every year to raise funds to support Prisma Health Breast Center and stay right here in the Midlands. I hope you'll join us at the Isabella Breakfast on October 11th. Isabella was actually my mother's nurse navigator when she was diagnosed a couple blocks from here when I was a freshman in college so it's really it is important and it's personal and we thank all the men and women in our community who are able to come out and support us and join us and we hope you'll join us as well on October 12th for the 29th Watt for Life and famously hot pink half marathon 5K and 10K. Thank you again and we are excited to see all the fundraising that y'all are able to accomplish this year and the t-shirts being worn all around our community. Let's everyone participate. Indeed we're this is a great community because we care about each other. Compassionate community. A charitable community. Let's support Prisma Health Foundation. Let's support bosom buddies. Let's support these incredible women who make our lives special every single day. Thank you. God bless you. We are Columbia.
