“I rise to recognize Crosswinds Youth Services, a nonprofit organization in my congressional district that has served Florida's Space Coast for the past 28 years. Yesterday, February 10, Crosswinds Youth Services received the prestigious National Network for Youth Agency of the Year Award, and I am proud to recognize their outstanding achievement. The National Network for Youth states in its award letter: "It is truly a great honor that Crosswinds Youth Services this year has been judged to be the best organization in the Nation serving runaway, homeless, and other youth in crisis. This award goes to the best among the best in America. Crosswinds is the first organization in Florida to win this award." According to the National Network for Youth, each year in America, 5,000 runaways die from assault, illness, and suicide. Crosswinds is an extraordinary organization doing extraordinary work. The men and women involved in this organization need to be commended, and I am honored to rise in support of them on this day.”
