                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 3, 2019

  Ms. GRANGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Careity 
Foundation of North Central Texas. They have been providing direct 
patient services through the ``Careity Celebrity Cutting'' for 25 years 
in Tarrant, Parker, Palo Pinto, Hood, and Johnson Counties in Texas.
   Careity provides early detection services to people who may 
otherwise go without and clinical services for those who have been 
diagnosed with cancer. Last year, Careity provided over 7600 patient 
services and has a strong record of responding quickly to patient's 
needs and caring about the people in the community who have been 
diagnosed with cancer.
   Careity prides itself in a high-profile low-cost event, the 
``Careity Celebrity Cutting". The uniqueness of the event stands out 
above other charity events in that the entire venue is donated by the 
National Cutting Horse Association. All celebrities are volunteers, and 
Careity has no development or fundraising staff.
   Given the competition for supporters that the non-profit industry 
has faced in the last several years, we can all appreciate this 
enormous accomplishment which speaks to the strong leadership that has 
steered the Foundation over the course of its impressive history. 
Careity exists to provide direct care that saves lives, gives hope, 
eases pain, and allows cancer patients and families to focus on 
healing.
   I congratulate Careity on this significant milestone.
