A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE RUCKER FAMILY OF RUCKER FARMS IN PELION ON THE MANY DESERVING YOUNG PEOPLE THEY HAVE ASSISTED THROUGH THEIR DEDICATED SPONSORSHIP OF THE LISA RUCKER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP, AWARDED ANNUALLY TO STUDENTS AT PELION HIGH SCHOOL.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to note that the Rucker family of Rucker Farms in Pelion sponsors the Lisa Rucker Memorial Scholarship, which has been awarded to students at Pelion High School each year since 2009 for the furtherance of their education; and

Whereas, the family, having faced the tragic loss of their beloved Lisa, honor her memory and benefit the community through this memorial scholarship; and

Whereas, in order to fund the scholarship, the Rucker family, with the help of friends, conducts fundraisers over the course of the year. As a result of this year's efforts, the Ruckers were able to offer seven scholarships of five hundred dollars each to Pelion High students, for a total of $3,500; and

Whereas, funds in excess of forty thousand dollars have been awarded to worthy Lisa Rucker Memorial Scholarship recipients at Pelion High School, and that amount increases yearly with various fundraisers; and

Whereas, family members Tony Rucker, who is Lisa Rucker's brother, and Lynn Rucker are in charge of the scholarship for the family; and

Whereas, appreciative of the Ruckers' sponsorship of the Lisa Rucker Memorial Scholarship, the House extends grateful thanks to the entire Rucker family. May God bless you for your labor of love, which has benefited so many through the years. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Rucker family of Rucker Farms in Pelion on the many deserving young people they have assisted through their dedicated sponsorship of the Lisa Rucker Memorial Scholarship, awarded annually to students at Pelion High School.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Tony Rucker and Lynn Rucker for the family.
