  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Fred and Jakki 
Nance who are the recipients of the 2012 Pan Award at Cleveland Public 
Theatre's Pandemonium 2012: House of Dreams Gala.
  Founded in 1981 by James Levin, the Cleveland Public Theatre is an 
arts complex located in Cleveland's Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood. The 
Cleveland Public Theatre is recognized for shows that are often 
progressive, political, and provocative. It also serves the area's 
urban youth and homeless through educational programs. Cleveland Public 
Theatre's mission is to raise consciousness and nurture compassion 
through ground-breaking performances and life-changing educational 
programs.
  Both Fred and Jakki Nance have long histories of community 
involvement and have committed their lives to improving Northeast Ohio. 
Jakki is a board member for the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame & Museum, 
Union Club, Laurel School and the Thomas Moyer Judicial Center and 
Foundation. She is the president of Philanthropic Solutions and has 
already been a leader with the LeBron James Family Foundation, 
Cleveland Browns Foundation and Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
  Fred Nance currently serves on the boards of the Cleveland Clinic, 
Greater Cleveland Partnership, The Cleveland Foundation and RPM 
International Inc. He has also been a board member for the Cleveland 
Museum of Art, BioEnterprise Inc. and the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland 
Foundation. He is integral in the leadership of the Ohio Business 
Roundtable and the 50 Club of Cleveland.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Fred and Jakki 
Nance who, because of their contributions to the community, are the 
winners of the 2012 Pan Award.
