SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 36
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the staff and volunteers of the San Antonio Stock Show |
|
|
and Rodeo on their success with the 2021 rodeo season and their |
|
|
contributions to Texas education; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo was founded |
|
|
on a core mission of generating funds for the youth of Texas; |
|
|
money raised through the show's annual events is returned to the |
|
|
community through scholarships, grants, and funding for student |
|
|
programs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since its inception in 1984, the rodeo has raised |
|
|
$232 million in funds that have helped to educate more than |
|
|
12,000 young citizens; currently, 1,500 students who attend |
|
|
colleges and universities in Texas benefit from these exemplary |
|
|
efforts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The rodeo's 6,000 volunteers worked carefully to |
|
|
plan and facilitate the 2021 event in the face of the COVID-19 |
|
|
pandemic; they faced unprecedented challenges again when the |
|
|
February snowstorm hit, yet they succeeded in ensuring the safety |
|
|
of animals and guests, and they continued on with events when the |
|
|
skies cleared; stock show personnel are proud that their |
|
|
incredible efforts led to $9 million in contributions to Texas |
|
|
education in 2021; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo is a true gem |
|
|
of Texas culture and tradition, and all who contribute to its |
|
|
ongoing success are indeed deserving of special recognition; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
|
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby recognize the staff and |
|
|
volunteers of the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo for their |
|
|
commitment to Texas education and their outstanding efforts to |
|
|
ensure the success of the 2021 rodeo season; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the show as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
