SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 278
WHEREAS, A delegation from the San Antonio nonprofit Eva's
Heroes is visiting the State Capitol on February 27, 2019; and
WHEREAS, Eva's Heroes was founded in 2006 by actress Eva
Longoria and Christiane Perkins-Garcia to help address the
scarcity of programs for teenagers and adults with intellectual
disabilities; the group is dedicated to enriching the lives of
individuals with special needs by creating an inclusive
environment for them that is anchored on four organizational
tenets: interact, grow, learn, and love; and
WHEREAS, Annually, Eva's Heroes serves more than 1,900
teens and young adults in Bexar County by hosting meaningful and
engaging programs and activities that help foster independence
and build self-esteem; the organization is sustained by a caring
team that includes its board of directors, staff, donors, and
volunteers, who are united by the desire to be advocates for the
rights and well-being of persons with disabilities; and
WHEREAS, Eva's Heroes is helping to make the community a
more welcoming and accepting place for all San Antonians,
including those whose voices are less often heard, and in so
doing, it is making a profound difference in the lives of
countless families; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby recognize Eva's Heroes on the occasion of its
visit to the State Capitol and extend to all those associated
with the organization sincere best wishes for continued success
with their important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for Eva's Heroes as an expression of high regard by the
Texas Senate.
