||
WHEREAS, Each year, area residents gather together for the | ||
Unity Fundraiser Banquet hosted by the Grand Prairie Unity | ||
Coalition; and | ||
WHEREAS, GPUC was established by former city council member | ||
Richard Fregoe in 2004 with the worthwhile goal of promoting | ||
awareness, inclusiveness, and community spirit through education | ||
and association; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since its inception, the diverse membership of GPUC | ||
has fostered cross-cultural understanding through its | ||
participation in many events, including the Martin Luther King | ||
Jr. Day parade and program, the Cinco de Mayo parade, a Native | ||
American powwow, and the annual Juneteenth parade; the group has | ||
also collaborated with area businesses and with such organizations | ||
as the NAACP and LULAC; as a result of the coalition's work, the | ||
City of Grand Prairie was acknowledged as an Inclusive City by the | ||
National League of Cities in 2006; and | ||
WHEREAS, The annual Unity Fundraiser Banquet is GPUC's | ||
signature event, and it provides sponsors and attendees with the | ||
opportunity to help advance the coalition's mission through | ||
charitable donations; over the years, the banquet has featured a | ||
number of notable civic leaders as keynote speakers; and | ||
WHEREAS, The members of the Grand Prairie Unity Coalition | ||
have proven themselves to be effective advocates in their efforts | ||
to build a more unified community, and the organization is indeed | ||
worthy of commendation for its many valuable contributions; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the Unity | ||
Fundraiser Banquet hosted by the Grand Prairie Unity Coalition and | ||
extend to the members of the organization sincere best wishes for | ||
the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for GPUC as an expression of high regard by the Texas House | ||
of Representatives. | ||
