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. |
