| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the staff and volunteers of the San Antonio Stock Show | ||
| and Rodeo on their success with the 2021 rodeo season and their | ||
| contributions to Texas education; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo was founded | ||
| on a core mission of generating funds for the youth of Texas; | ||
| money raised through the show's annual events is returned to the | ||
| community through scholarships, grants, and funding for student | ||
| programs; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since its inception in 1984, the rodeo has raised | ||
| $232 million in funds that have helped to educate more than | ||
| 12,000 young citizens; currently, 1,500 students who attend | ||
| colleges and universities in Texas benefit from these exemplary | ||
| efforts; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The rodeo's 6,000 volunteers worked carefully to | ||
| plan and facilitate the 2021 event in the face of the COVID-19 | ||
| pandemic; they faced unprecedented challenges again when the | ||
| February snowstorm hit, yet they succeeded in ensuring the safety | ||
| of animals and guests, and they continued on with events when the | ||
| skies cleared; stock show personnel are proud that their | ||
| incredible efforts led to $9 million in contributions to Texas | ||
| education in 2021; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo is a true gem | ||
| of Texas culture and tradition, and all who contribute to its | ||
| ongoing success are indeed deserving of special recognition; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
| Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby recognize the staff and | ||
| volunteers of the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo for their | ||
| commitment to Texas education and their outstanding efforts to | ||
| ensure the success of the 2021 rodeo season; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the show as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
