	H.R. No. 152



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, For more than 130 years, United Way has raised funds
	to support agencies in local communities, and the celebration of
	Texas United Ways Community Day at the State Capitol offers an
	opportunity to honor this organization for working to better the
	lives of countless Texans; and
	WHEREAS, Established in 1887, United Way envisions a world
	where everyone has an opportunity to succeed and where entire
	communities thrive as a result; local affiliates build productive
	relationships among philanthropists, the public sector, and
	business and nonprofit leaders to identify and implement solutions
	based on the needs in their communities; and
	WHEREAS, Texas is home to more than 70 United Way
	organizations, which collectively raise hundreds of millions of
	dollars each year; these affiliates are working on such
	community-driven initiatives as removing barriers to school
	readiness for children under the age of six, improving high school
	graduation rates and college readiness, developing 2-1-1
	information and referrals, and helping individuals achieve
	financial stability; and
	WHEREAS, By mobilizing thousands of volunteers, engaging
	their compassion and energy in behalf of others, and collaborating
	with groups that are committed to the achievement of similar goals,
	United Way organizations are strengthening the social fabric of
	their communities; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 27, 2019, as Texas United
	Ways Community Day at the State Capitol and commend all those
	associated with United Ways for their immeasurable contributions to
	the Lone Star State.

	Howard
