                         Monday, March 7, 2016

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Southeast Chapter of Florida Head Huggers, also known as ``Caps and 
Wraps,'' as they celebrate their five-year anniversary.
  This wonderful group of ladies meets every Thursday to knit and 
crochet caps, wraps and blankets, which are donated to adult and 
pediatric cancer patients who are undergoing treatment.
  Since the group began in January 2011, Caps and Wraps has donated 
more than 20,000 ``handmade hugs'' to local hospitals and oncology 
offices to ensure that cancer patients are provided with warmth and 
comfort.
  As a cancer survivor, I offer my heartfelt appreciation to Chapter 
founder, Aline Zucker, for her kindness and generosity.
  I commend the Southeast Chapter of Florida Head Huggers for their 
commitment and compassion to the cancer community.
