                      Wednesday, February 10, 2016

  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Riley Holcomb 
for being selected as one of Colorado's Distinguished Finalists in the 
21st Annual National Awards Program by The Prudential Spirit of 
Community Awards. She was selected for this honor due to her 
exceptional acts of volunteerism.
  Ms. Holcomb is a seventh-grade student at Altona Middle School in 
Longmont, Colorado. She was originally inspired to make a difference 
when her aunt passed away from kidney cancer. Over the past four years, 
Ms. Holcomb founded a Relay for Life team which has raised over $18,000 
for the American Cancer Society. It is the ingenuity and hard work Ms. 
Holcomb embodies daily that makes America exceptional. She has shown 
true leadership in her community.
  As the recipient of this award, she will receive an engraved bronze 
medallion. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, I 
extend my best wishes to Ms. Holcomb.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Ms. Riley Holcomb for her 
accomplishments.
