  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kevin 
Kane who received the Wyoming Valley Children's Association's (WVCA) 
``Making A Difference'' Award along with his wife Mickey Kane on 
Friday, March 22, 2019 during the organization's 95th Anniversary Gala.
  The WVCA provides quality, early childhood education as well as 
physical, occupational, and speech therapy programs to students 
diagnosed with autism, Down syndrome, and speech delays, and also to 
other children. The ``Making A Difference Award'' recognizes 
individuals who go above and beyond in their commitment and service to 
the WVCA.
  Kevin currently works for the Luzerne County Court Administration as 
the Director of Domestic Relations for Family Court. Kevin has proudly 
served on the Board of Directors for Wyoming Valley Children's 
Association for twenty-seven years. He also served as the President of 
the Board. Kevin and Mickey are the proud parents of two children: 
Katie and Sean. Together they established the Sean P. Kane Memorial 
Fund in honor of their son. It supports services, programs, and causes 
aligned with health, wellness, and wellbeing of people across the 
community, with an emphasis on individuals with special needs.
  It is an honor to recognize Kevin as he and Mickey accept the Wyoming 
Valley Children's Association's ``Making A Difference'' Award. May they 
continue to support the early childhood education needs of our 
community.
