| WHEREAS, Sponsored by Prudential Financial and the National | ||
| Association of Secondary School Principals, the Spirit of Community | ||

| hospital's patients for the past five years; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Each holiday season, Micah, his family, and student | ||
| volunteers solicit donations door-to-door and place collection | ||
| boxes at local businesses and other locations, gathering items to | ||
| be delivered to the hospital a few days before Christmas; so far, he | ||
| has distributed more than 15,000 toys and games to grateful young | ||
| patients; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Micah Pinson has set an inspiring example of | ||
| compassion and initiative, and he is to be commended for his | ||
| exceptional efforts; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Micah Pinson on his selection as | ||
| one of the top two youth volunteers in Texas by the 2017 Prudential | ||
| Spirit of Community Awards program and extend to him sincere best | ||
| wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Micah as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
