Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate an outstanding female athlete and native of Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, for her service to our community. Margo Carlin currently plays field hockey at Boston College, where she has won multiple awards and played in the NCAA Final Four. But her accomplishments go far beyond the field hockey turf. Last year, after a new rule allowed college athletes to raise money from the use of their names and likenesses, Margo saw an opportunity to make a difference in our community. She used her platform as a college athlete to partner with Covenant House and raised nearly $30,000 to help that charity house and feed young people who are experiencing homelessness in our area. That successful partnership allowed Covenant House to seek out similar partnerships with athletes in other parts of the country. Margo's approach to community service is an example of how each of us has the power, with a little creativity, to use our unique talents to make a difference. I am so proud to recognize Margo Carlin today, and I look forward to all she will accomplish in the future. Support Workforce Training Programs
