Mr. BILIRAKIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Board of Directors of the Boys and Girls Club of the Suncoast. Their tireless work is being recognized this week when they will be named the Highest Performing Board Team of the Year. Board Chair Jeff Tanzer, Vice Chair Kyle Barr, Vice Chair Rolfe Duggar, Esq., Vice Chair Christie Sullivan, Esq., Vice Chair Beth Homer, Esq., Treasurer Danielle Cartier Wendt, CPA, Secretary Elizabeth Constantine, Esq., Immediate Past Chair Angela Wright, and Past Chair Doug Lewis have all excelled to make our local Boys and Girls Club worthy of this designation.

The mission of the Boys and Girls Club of the Suncoast is to provide high quality, out of school time Club experiences that proven to ensure our young people are on track to graduate from high school with a plan, demonstrate good character and citizenship, and live a healthy lifestyle. With over 21,000 kids and teens served and a 96 percent graduation rate among High School Seniors that are club members, the Club supports the next generation of community members that can make a positive impact. I have been proud to support their tremendous efforts during my time in Congress and look forward to their continued success.
