to congratulate and recognize Kaycee Reining on her many accomplishments AND CONTINUED PHILANTHROPIC EFFORTS.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is proud to recognize Kaycee Reining for her professional accomplishments and her great efforts to help her community through many acts of philanthropy; and

 

Whereas, Kaycee was adopted from Guatemala at a young age and raised in Myrtle Beach, where she received her education through the public school system. These early experiences instilled in her a profound sense of appreciation, humility, and responsibility. Being guided by faith and family, she developed a deep understanding of what it means to make the most of every opportunity and to serve others, shaping her identity and her commitment to the greater good; and

 

Whereas, Kaycee is an honor graduate of Seminole State College, where she earned her Associate of Science degree in Business and Marketing; and she later graduated with honors from Bosie State University with a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Management. She also holds technical certifications in Business Operations and is a Business Specialist; and

 

Whereas, Kaycee now serves as a Project Manager and Launch Team Leader for Schaeffler Group USA in Cheraw, where she manages critical project initiatives, leads cross-functional launch teams, and oversees major product introductions that support both local and global operations; and

 

Whereas, Kaycee has an admirable dedication to service. In high school, she worked closely with disabled students helping them develop life skills, confidence, and creative expression. She volunteered extensively throughout her community, laying the foundation for a lifelong commitment to service and advocacy; and

 

Whereas, after high school, Kaycee focused on disadvantaged youth across the Pee Dee region. Understanding firsthand the importance of opportunity, exposure, and encouragement, Kaycee created an innovative and transformative initiative in partnership with ESPN, where she built and implemented an annual empowerment program that provides a fully sponsored year-end trip to a college bowl game, lunch and fellowship for participating students, and motivational and educational speakers that address goal setting, college admissions, career planning, and personal development. Since the program's inception, it has served more than three hundred fifty young people, many of whom face socioeconomic challenges and limited exposure to higher education; and

 

Whereas, the House of Representatives values and admires the work that Kaycee has done to expand horizons, nurture the ambition, and provide a foundation of hope and inspiration for countless young people in the region. Now, therefore,
