  Mr. MARINO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the United Way of 
Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District on the occasion of the 125th 
anniversary.
  Founded in Denver, Colorado in 1887 by five religious men and women, 
the United Way strives to improve public health and welfare though 
charitable donations, wellness programs, and education initiatives.
  Today, the United Way stands as a well known and world-renowned 
organization promoting good health, sound education policy, and 
financial stability in communities across the globe. The United Way is 
one of the leading not-for-profit organizations and forces for good in 
the world.
  I would especially like to honor the men and women who work for the 
United Way organizations located in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional 
District for their good work: United Way of Bradford County, Lycoming 
County United Way, United Way of the Capital Region, United Way of 
Mifflin-Juniata, United Way of Wyoming Valley, Danville Area United 
Way, Lower Anthracite Region United Way, Schuylkill United Way, United 
Way of Susquehanna County, and United Way of Lackawanna and Wayne 
Counties.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the United Way of Pennsylvania's 
10th Congressional District, and ask my colleagues to join me in 
praising their commitment to country and community.

                          ____________________
