The Indiana House of Representatives participated in the Suits and Sneakers Challenge, an annual event hosted by the American Cancer Society and National Association of Basketball Coaches, to help raise awareness. According to the ACS, while cancer is the second leading cause of death in the nation, the U.S. cancer death rate has dropped 27 percent in the past 25 years due to reductions in smoking and advances in early detection and treatment.
