WHEREAS, Goodwill Industries of South Texas is celebrating | ||
the 30th anniversary of its annual 10K and 5K run/walk fund-raiser | ||
in 2017; and | ||
WHEREAS, A not-for-profit agency incorporated in 1948, | ||
Goodwill Industries of South Texas serves a territory spanning 20 | ||
counties; the organization's primary mission is to provide jobs and | ||
job-training programs for persons with disabilities and other | ||
barriers to employment, and its recent efforts have been focused on | ||
assisting veterans, including homeless veterans, in making the | ||
successful transition to civilian life; in 2015 alone, Goodwill's | ||
programs benefited more than 5,100 people in the Coastal Bend area; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The Goodwill 10K and 5K road race in Corpus Christi, | ||
held for its 30th year on March 4, 2017, is the organization's | ||
largest fund-raiser in the region; proceeds from the event, which | ||
last year totaled $43,000, support programs offering job training, | ||
employment placement, financial literacy, clothing vouchers, and | ||
résumé workshops for area residents in need; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the course of its history, Goodwill has made a | ||
lasting, positive difference in the lives of countless South | ||
Texans, and its annual 10K and 5K fund-raiser has played a | ||
significant role in enabling the organization to pursue its | ||
charitable goals; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Goodwill Industries of South Texas on the | ||
30th anniversary of its 10K and 5K run/walk fund-raiser and extend | ||
to the agency's members sincere best wishes for continued success | ||
with their important work; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Goodwill Industries of South Texas as an expression of | ||
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
