On 06/22/22 The Zoefia Alexandria Foundation was invited up to The New York State Capital {Albany} by Assemblyman John Salka.   We were presented with a Proclamation and an official copy of the Resolution that was adopted on May 11, 2022, by Governor Kathy Hochul declaring May as Brain Tumor Awareness Month in the State of New York. We are beyond honored and extremely blessed to be presented with these Legislative documents. We are very grateful to Mr. John Salka for taking the time to work so diligently on this resolution and having it done in May to raise awareness for Brain Tumors in The State of New York. This resolution was personal for the parties involved as we both lost a daughter to Brain Cancer, although there will always be personal challenges we are grateful for this Legislative.  While at the NYS Capital we were given a tour of the historic landmark, we met some incredible people and learned about the history, it was an amazing day!

The Zoefia Alexandria Foundation expresses sincere gratitude for the work of Mr. John Salka, Thank you for shedding light on Brain Tumor Awareness Month. Brain Tumors affect all ages and we stand for the cause not just for Zoefia, or for individuals that have passed, it’s not just for those who currently have a brain tumor, this is also for those individuals who are not yet diagnosed.  We strive to make a difference not just in our local community but within The State of New York, we hope to change the narrative in years to come. There will always be work to be done until BRAIN TUMORS/BRAIN CANCER is obsolete, until then we are off to a great start. This is the 2nd time that this Resolution has ever been done in The State of New York and we hope that it continues for years to come.

Brain Tumors are not just for children, it affects adults. The work we attempt to do is beneficial to ALL! We hope that individuals understand the seriousness of the cause and know that life can be changed in a second.  We thank everyone that voted on this Resolution and we thank everyone who spreads awareness in any way shape or form. The only way to make change is to be the change and address issues!
