Title: Proclamation of “Andrea Andrade Day”
Summary
The City of Fresno has officially declared February 26, 2026, as "Andrea Andrade Day" in honor of Andrea Andrade, a local figure who significantly impacted the community despite her battle with cancer. Andrade won five beauty pageants, competed for the Miss California title, and initiated programs to support children and families facing medical challenges. Diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2017, she continued to inspire others through her resilience and advocacy for early cancer screenings. Her notable initiative, “Not All Heroes Wear Capes,” provided support to pediatric cancer patients and their families. This proclamation serves to recognize Andrade's contributions and inspire community involvement in similar causes.
