H.R. No. 196

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, For more than 125 years, the United Way system has
been raising funds to share with local relief agencies in a
cooperative effort to improve the well-being of community
residents, and the 2015 anniversary of the founding of this
organization provides a welcome opportunity to honor its
achievements; and
WHEREAS, Since 1887, United Way has partnered with businesses
around the country to increase public awareness and to assist with a
host of pressing community needs, including education, income,
health, 2-1-1 information and referral, and other topics; and
WHEREAS, United Way annually mobilizes thousands of
volunteers, and its offices have collectively reinvested hundreds
of millions of dollars in charitable donations back into the local
communities they serve; and
WHEREAS, Home to 88 United Way affiliates, the Lone Star
State has greatly benefited from the spirit of charity and
volunteerism demonstrated by those involved with the operation; and
WHEREAS, United Ways are helping to strengthen communities
across the state and the nation, and it is indeed a pleasure to join
in honoring the significant contributions the organization has made
to the greater good; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 18, 2015, as United Way Day
at the State Capitol and express sincere appreciation to the United
Way staff, volunteers, donors, and supporters for their important
work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the United Ways of Texas as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
