WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join Texans across the state in celebrating March 1, 2017, as
United Way Day; and
WHEREAS, United Way chapters work with local community
organizations to find creative solutions to the various problems
facing Texans each day; there are more than 70 United Way
organizations across the state that mobilize thousands of
volunteers each year; and
WHEREAS, United Way organizations play a vital role in
supporting a wide range of causes, including education,
financial stability, and 2-1-1 information service; and
WHEREAS, The United Way draws on the generosity and
volunteerism of communities to reinvest the hundreds of millions
of dollars in contributions that make for measurable change and a
profound difference in the lives of countless people; and
WHEREAS, The United Way brings people together for the
common good of communities throughout the world, and it is truly
fitting that a day be set aside to pay tribute to this exceptional
organization for its invaluable contributions to our state; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend the United Way staff, volunteers,
and donors on their commitment to strengthening Texas
communities and extend to all best wishes for a productive and
memorable United Way Day; and, be it further

honor of this special occasion.
Zaffirini, Perry
