SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 456
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize April 26, 2015, as Blue Sunday Day of Prayer in Texas; and
WHEREAS, Blue Sunday Day of Prayer was initiated in South
Texas by Janet and John Magee and Ron Corzine in 1994 as part of
the Blue Sunday Child Abuse Prevention Initiative; it began as a
prayer campaign involving 20 churches across South Texas, and the
campaign has grown to include more than seven million people
around the world; and
WHEREAS, Through the years, the Blue Sunday Child Abuse
Prevention Initiative has expanded its efforts to include the
development and free distribution of educational tools to raise
awareness of child abuse; and
WHEREAS, This exceptional program also provides abused and
neglected children with material goods that will help them to
deal with their difficulties and improve their lives; and
WHEREAS, The Blue Sunday Child Abuse Prevention Initiative
has had a profound effect on the lives of countless abused and
neglected children, and it is truly fitting that the initiative and
its advocates receive special recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend the founders, board members, and
community volunteers of the Blue Sunday Child Abuse Prevention
Initiative on their commitment to bringing relief to abused
children and extend to them best wishes for a productive and
