     TRIBUTE TO JOCELYN TAYLOR, MICHAELA OSBORNE, AND ADDISON EVANS

<bullet> Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, this week I have the honor of 
recognizing Jocelyn Taylor, Michaela Osborne, and Addison Evans of Cut 
Bank Middle School in Glacier County for their extraordinary impact on 
the local community.
  Jocelyn, Michaela, and Addison all had grandparents who suffered from 
cancer. Because of that, the three young women wanted to do more in 
their community to raise awareness for cancer with hopes to help folks 
detect the disease early.
  Jocelyn's mom, Cherie, suggested that the girls aim their fundraising 
efforts towards upgrading the Winkley Women's Center mobile mammography 
unit that visits Cutbank often. Kalispell Regional Healthcare had been 
working to raise the funds for a new unit.
  Jocelyn, Michaela, and Addison joined Kalispell Regional Healthcare 
at the Lewis and Clark Festival in July to bake goods for a bake sale. 
They managed to raise $109.50 and donated all proceeds to the cause.
  Kalispell Regional Healthcare Foundation shared the story of the 
girls' efforts with their supporters, and the story caught fire. The 
message about their donation kept spreading, and on October 1, $750,000 
was raised because of their dedication and work.
  Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of these inspirational young 
women, they were able to make a tremendous impact on their local 
community and raise funds for a cause that can save Montana lives.
  It is my honor to recognize Jocelyn, Michaela, and Addison for their 
amazing endeavor. Montanans across our State are proud of the work they 
achieved, and I look forward to following the future accomplishments of 
these bright young women.<bullet>
