  Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to 
Bruce and Anna Biggs of Elizabeth City, North Carolina who received the 
first ever Albemarle Area United Way Keel Club Philanthropy Award. For 
half a century the Biggs' have been giving back to the community with 
their time, talent and treasure by donating to numerous organizations 
and causes in the region as well as funding three scholarships.
  Students at East Carolina University, the College of the Albemarle 
and MidAtlantic Christian University have all benefitted from the 
Biggs' generosity. Bruce Biggs had to borrow money to attend ECU for 
his bachelor's degree in business and being able to fund scholarships 
is especially meaningful to him.
  Anna Biggs is a retired school teacher. Bruce and Anna have sought to 
give to others in a community that has been so good to them.
