                        CONGRATULATIONS TO Y-100

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate Footy and 
the rest of the team at one of south Florida's premier radio station, 
Y-100, on their annual fund-raising event to benefit young people with 
drug addictions.
  Proceeds from this year's event, Footy's All-American Wing-Ding, will 
also go to firefighter relief efforts for the September 11 tragedies. 
For the past 15 years, funds raised by the annual Wing-Ding go toward 
Here's Help, an organization headed by Steve Safron and John Kross, 
which provides drug abuse treatment programs.
  Footy's Wing-Ding extravaganza has enabled Here's Help to offer hope 
to those who suffer from drug addiction, and has assisted in building a 
residential drug treatment facility in south Florida. Through his 
perseverance and charisma, Footy has made the annual Wing-Ding a 
popular and successful event.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to be part of this worthwhile benefit, and I 
ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Y-100 and the 
participants of Footy's All-American Wing-Ding for their assistance to 
our youth and our country's relief efforts.
