GREATER LONGVIEW UNITED WAY
(Mr. MORAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, every year the Greater Longview United Way
hosts a fundraiser known as their annual campaign to raise money for
nonprofit organizations in the Gregg County area.
In recognition of the 75th year, the United Way's campaign theme was:
``Past. Present. Future. We are UNITED.''
This year, the organization surpassed their goal by over $25,000,
raising a grand total of $1.1 million, which will be used to help fund
nearly 40 programs across 20 nonprofits in the Gregg County area.
United Ways are a vital part of communities across the Nation,
bringing people together to volunteer, advocate, and give back to their
community.
Their core belief is that only when a community is united to benefit
all people, regardless of race, creed, class, school district, or place
of origin that true change can happen.
Mr. Speaker, I thank the executive director, Dr. Evan Dolive;
campaign and community outreach manager, Heather Stevenson; and front
office coordinator, Raven Atkinson for their dedication to the United
Way and our Gregg County community.
