A RESOLUTION

Recognizing and commending the National Vitiligo Bond Inc. Foundation; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the National Vitiligo Bond Inc. Foundation was founded in 2010 by Natasha Pierre McCarthy in Atlanta, Georgia, while she was teaching at Point University, inspired by the biblical figure Nehemiah and her vision to create a supportive community for those living with vitiligo; and

WHEREAS, the National Vitiligo Bond Inc. Foundation has since expanded its advocacy efforts to 20 states, helping volunteers establish awareness initiatives and serving as a model for support groups and nonprofits both nationally and internationally; and

WHEREAS, in 2011, the organization successfully advocated for June to be recognized as Vitiligo Awareness Month and secured a proclamation from then-Governor Nathan Deal, a tradition that has continued under Governor Brian Kemp; and

WHEREAS, the foundation has partnered with Emory Dermatology to host educational support groups and has established online and offline communities offering vital resources for individuals with vitiligo; and

WHEREAS, the organization has also engaged in many youth and public outreach initiatives, such as Advocacy Day at the Capitol, self-esteem photo shoots, the Rise & Shine: Empowering Youth for Change program, and the annual Vitiligo Bond 5K; and

WHEREAS, its commitment to health and skincare advocacy has included national sunscreen and skincare awareness campaigns focused on youth and adults with vitiligo, outreach efforts in Haiti, and corporate partnerships with L'Oréal, Dermablend, and Macy's to support awareness and education; and

WHEREAS, the National Vitiligo Bond Inc. Foundation has been recognized for its outstanding efforts with the 2023 USA Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award for Volunteer Service as well as the Morehouse and NCBON Unsung Hero Award; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper to appropriately honor this remarkable organization during this special time.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize and commend the National Vitiligo Bond Inc. Foundation for its invaluable contributions to vitiligo awareness and support as well as extend best wishes for its continued success.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to the National Vitiligo Bond Inc. Foundation.
