On the recordApril 30, 2019
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an extraordinary family and community from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, that is working to make our community a better place. Earlier this month, Ciarlo Liples threw out the first pitch at the baseball game between Central Bucks West and Pennridge high schools. Ciarlo is the brother of Dominic Liples, an 8-year-old boy who tragically succumbed to brain cancer in 2016. Ciarlo and his family have since developed a close bond with the CB West team and our entire community. The Liples family has turned their tragedy and grief into strength. Working with this team, the family helped establish the Dominic Liples Scholarship Fund to award the senior baseball player who represents Dominic's positive attitude and ability. I applaud the Central Bucks High School West team. We wish them all continued success this season. I would also like to extend all our gratitude to the Liples family and give Ciarlo and his parents, Ken and Kira, our heartfelt thanks on behalf of everybody in our community.
