  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Greater Valdosta United Way from Georgia's First District.
  Since 1954, Greater Valdosta United Way has raised over $35 million 
to support human services across their community.
  Through their hard work and dedication of numerous businesses, clubs, 
and individuals, the organization has made a difference in the lives of 
thousands of Georgians.
  Greater Valdosta United Way strives to advance the common good by 
investing in education, income, and health, which are the pillars for a 
strong and healthy community.
  Last year, they remarkably exceeded their fundraising goal of 
$750,000 by 105 percent.
  I am so thankful for the tremendous work this organization has done 
to improve the lives of countless individuals across our district for 
so many years, and for their outstanding volunteers.
  I want to encourage all involved with Greater Valdosta United Way to 
keep up the wonderful work they've done, and I wish them the best of 
luck in the future.
