A SENATE RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE AND HONOR AMANDA ROBINOVITZ AS A RECIPIENT OF A PRUDENTIAL SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY AWARD; TO RECOGNIZE HER OUTSTANDING RECORD OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE, PEER LEADERSHIP, AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT; AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR HER CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS.
Whereas, Amanda Robinovitz, a resident of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and an eighth grader at East Cooper Montessori Charter School, has achieved national recognition for exemplary volunteer service by receiving a 2017 Prudential Spirit of Community Award; and
Whereas, this prestigious award, presented by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals, honors young volunteers across America who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to serving their communities; and
Whereas, Amanda Robinovitz, at only thirteen, has established her own organization, RxRead, which she runs with her brother. Since September 2008, she has helped to collect and distribute 50,000 books for local children’s hospital clinics. Amanda not only finds, organizes, and delivers books, but also writes to publishers and authors; and
Whereas, after her brother was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2012, Amanda took on more of the responsibilities with RxRead. She has also begun fundraising for a cure for her brother’s disease; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate consider it a privilege to celebrate Amanda’s exemplary service to others. Students like Amanda represent the best of America’s youth and are role models to their peers and communities. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate and honor Amanda Robinovitz as a recipient of a Prudential Spirit of Community Award; recognize her outstanding record of volunteer service, peer leadership, and community spirit; and extend best wishes for her continued success and happiness.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Amanda Robinovitz.
