  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Unity Performing Arts Foundation of Fort Wayne, Indiana, along with its 
CEO and founder, Marshall White. Since 2000, Unity Performing Arts has 
focused on empowering and developing young men and women in the areas 
of artistry, character, and leadership. Through faith based community 
programming, young Hoosiers learn values that last a lifetime.
  The Expressions Creative Writing program creates an avenue for 
students to express themselves through pen and paper, and the Voices of 
Unity Choir holds all participants to a standard of excellence, both on 
and off the stage. Nearly 18 years later, programs of the Unity 
Performing Arts Foundation continue to be successful in developing 
young leaders in our community.
  Unity Performing Arts Foundation has truly had a meaningful impact on 
northeast Indiana, and I wish this important program continued success.
