VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

5/12/2020

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND CARLOS DUNLAP FOR HIS DEDICATION AND SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE LOW COUNTRY OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO FURTHER CONGRATULATE HIM ON A SUCCESSFUL PROFESSIONAL ATHLETIC CAREER.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to pause in their deliberations to recognize individuals who devote themselves to improving the Palmetto State. Carlos Dunlap, a native of the Lowcountry and Fort Dorchester alum, is one such person; and

Whereas, an active professional athlete currently playing in the National Football League for the Cincinnati Bengals, Dunlap holds a football camp each year annually for local youths. This year, however, the football camp could not be held due to safety concerns. Still desiring to find a way to benefit his community, Dunlap contributed ten thousand dollars and is working with the Lowcountry Food Bank and Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church to sponsor food distribution; and

Whereas, where deeds inspire action in other likeminded individuals, it was Dunlap's initial donation that prompted Porter Gaud alum and current Milwaukee Bucks basketball player Khris Middleton to match the funding; and

Whereas, through Dunlap's actions, as well as with the dedicated labor of local volunteers, the Lowcountry food bank was able to prepare food that could feed roughly five hundred families through boxed meals. In addition to meals, the Lowcountry food bank also prepared to distribute personal protective equipment to those in need; and

Whereas, appreciative of the commitment and selflessness Carlos Dunlap has bestowed on this great State, particularly his home community in the Lowcountry, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives take great pleasure in thanking him for his service and wishing him well in future athletic seasons. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend Carlos Dunlap for his dedication and service to the people of the Low Country of South Carolina and to further congratulate him on a successful professional athletic career.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Carlos Dunlap.
