Awesome news! The state of California has once again declared August as SMA Awareness Month. You may recall the declaration last year, but there is much more to this year's declaration. The proclamation doesn't just pertain to this August. Nope. S.C.R. 43, introduced by our awesome state senator, Senator Tony Strickland, extends in perpetuity — declaring EVERY August as SMA Awareness Month in California — FOREVER! Now every year we can all use this declaration to persuade more great California cities and counties and government officials and publications and businesses to get involved in the SMA cause.
We'd like to give a HUGE thank you to Senator Tony Strickland (R-District 19) and his staff for going above and beyond in continuing to support our efforts at the highest level. Your belief in the SMA cause is much appreciated by our family and the entire SMA community and we are honored to have your unending support for SMA and our efforts with the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation. We sincerely thank you!
