  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mollie Singer a 
recent recipient of 12th annual Prudential Spirit of Community Award 
from Nevada in 2007.

her goal to vigorously raise money and promote awareness of the 
disease. Each year Mollie organizes a team to participate in the

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes, her 
efforts have raised over $100,000 for the foundation. Mollie also 
organizes luncheons, picnics and other events to collect money for 
medical research.
  In addition to her efforts on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes 
Research Foundation, Mollie has educated the public by co-authoring a 
booklet called ``The Road to a Cure'', produced a video diary, and made 
public announcements. She has also formed a support group for those 
diagnosed with the disease. For her efforts, Mollie will receive a 
$1,000 award along with a silver medallion and a trip to Washington 
D.C. for her dedication to volunteering for this very worthy cause.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Mollie Singer. Her efforts to 
raise awareness and find a cure for Diabetes are commendable. I wish 
Mollie continued success in her efforts.
