Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding contributions that Shae Burgess has made to our community as a volunteer with Pasco County Schools. Shae's has been an integral part of organizing a more robust support system for the school's athletic teams. With a passion for sports and a heart for service, Shae took on the challenge of revitalizing the athletic booster program. Under Shae's leadership, the booster program has flourished. They have organized numerous fundraising events and supported multiple school organizations. These funds have been used to purchase new equipment, upgrade facilities, and provide scholarships for student-athletes. Shae's innovative ideas and relentless drive have not only increased financial support but also boosted community involvement and school spirit. In addition to her work with the booster program, Shae volunteers directly with the sports teams. Shae is always there to lend a hand and mentor other volunteers. Shae's commitment to the school extends to the staff as well. Recognizing the hard work and dedication of teachers and administrators, Shae has initiated several programs to show appreciation for their efforts. She organizes staff appreciation events, where teachers and staff are treated to breakfast or lunch, and receive tokens of gratitude from the community. Through her actions, Shae has fostered a sense of unity and pride within the school community. Her ability to bring people together, whether it's parents, students, or staff, has created a supportive environment. Shae's impact is felt not just in the success of the athletic programs, but in the overall morale and spirit of the school. Shae Burgess is a remarkable volunteer whose dedication and hard work have made a lasting difference. Shae's story is a testament to the power of volunteerism and the profound impact one person can have when they commit to making a difference.

It is clear Shae Burgess has made a profoundly positive impact on our community, and I am grateful for her service. May we all strive to serve our communities with the same dedication and humility.
