| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the members of the Helping Our Heroes Committee on the | ||
| occasion of the seventh annual Helping Our Heroes Golf | ||
| Tournament, which is taking place on April 6, 2019; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Helping Our Heroes Committee was formed by | ||
| women of the South Padre Island Golf Club who sought to establish | ||
| a charitable golf tournament to benefit two worthy causes and to | ||
| honor the late Bill Couch, a military veteran who died of Lou | ||
| Gehrig's disease in 2010; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Helping Our Heroes Golf Tournament began in | ||
| 2011 as a fund-raising event for the ALS Association of Texas, | ||
| which seeks to raise awareness of Lou Gehrig's disease, and the | ||
| Wounded Warrior Project, which supports veterans who have | ||
| incurred physical or mental injuries in the years following the | ||
| September 11, 2001, attacks; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Last year, the tournament brought in 100 golfers | ||
| and raised more than $26,000 for the organizations, and to date, | ||
| the Helping Our Heroes Committee has donated more than $108,000 | ||
| in event proceeds; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Helping Our Heroes Golf Tournament is a | ||
| much-anticipated charitable event that has grown through the | ||
| support of numerous volunteers and local businesses; the ALS | ||
| Association of Texas and the Wounded Warrior Project have | ||
| greatly benefited from the fund-raiser, and all who contribute | ||
| to its success are indeed deserving of recognition; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Helping Our Heroes | ||
| Committee for their charitable efforts and extend to all best | ||
| wishes for a memorable seventh annual Helping Our Heroes Golf | ||
| Tournament; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the committee as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
