Whereas numerous individuals, charities benefitting children, and youth-serving 
 organizations that work with children and youth collaborate to provide 
 invaluable services to enrich and better the lives of children and youth

Whereas raising awareness of and increasing support for organizations that

 sports, and other services will result in the development of character 
 in, and the future success of, the children and youth of the United 
 States;
Whereas the month of September, as the school year begins, is a time when 
 parents, families, teachers, school administrators, and communities 
 increase the focus on children and youth throughout the United States;
Whereas the month of September is a time for the people of the United States to 
 highlight and be mindful of the needs of children and youth;
Whereas private corporations and businesses have joined with hundreds of 
 national and local charitable organizations throughout the United States 
 in support of a month-long focus on children and youth; and
Whereas a long-term commitment to children and youth is in the public interest 
 and will encourage widespread support for charities and organizations 
 that seek to provide a better future for the children and youth of the 
 United States: Now, therefore, be it
