                      Thursday, September 23, 2021

  Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Ocean of Love on their 23rd Annual Billboard Radiothon. As September is 
Childhood Cancer Awareness month, it is imperative that we rededicate 
ourselves to finding a cure for childhood cancers that impact thousands 
of families across my district.
  During this three day event, Ocean of Love for Children with Cancer 
has a goal of raising $109,000 so they can continue their mission of 
providing excellent support to families facing unimaginable challenges.
  Founded in 1988, Ocean of Love has helped over 500 families by 
providing varying levels of support including grocery gift cards, 
household expense assistance, scholarships, and caretaker support. 
Ocean of Love is there to share in the celebration of winning the 
battle and provides invaluable support for families facing life's 
hardest tragedy--the loss of a child. Through their bereavement group 
both for parents and siblings, Ocean of Love is there to stand shoulder 
to shoulder with Ocean County families.
  I commit to them and to families across my district that I will 
continue supporting efforts to increase research into childhood disease 
and continue fighting for environmental protections to protect 
children's health for generations to come. I would like to commend 
Ocean of Love for their tireless efforts on behalf of these families 
and wish them all the best with their Radiothon. Thank you for being 
there to let the families here in Ocean County know that they will 
never be in this fight alone.
