                  RECOGNIZING THE 2011 SAGE WORLD CUP

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 25, 2011

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2011 SAGE 
World Cup, which is being hosted by Canisius College in Buffalo, NY.
  SAGE (Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship) is an 
international network dedicated to creating leaders, innovations, and 
social enterprises to address the world's needs. Founded in 2002 by Dr. 
Curtis L. DeBerg, the network now extends to over 500 high schools in 
17 countries, and is run completely by volunteers.
  Each year, the winners of SAGE's national competitions advance to the 
``SAGE World Cup,'' where teams are judged not only on marketplace 
viability, but also on social impact, environmental stewardship, and 
civic engagement. This year, the World Cup will be held in Buffalo and 
Niagara Falls, NY.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope that you will join me in honoring SAGE and its 
2011 World Cup participants, whose dedication to creating better 
futures for themselves and others through socially responsible 
enterprises and businesses is commendable.
