Whereas the Festival of Children Foundation has been estab-
lished in southern California (1) to showcase those non- 
profit groups performing exemplary works, so that they 
may through increased exposure secure and sustain the 
volunteer, leadership, and financial support necessary to 
be successful, (2) to provide a free resource to such 
groups so that they might more easily leverage scarce re-
sources through creative, collaborative efforts to serve 
their shared constituencies for the betterment of the com-
munity at large, and (3) to provide a free and effective 
platform to facilitate such groups sharing lessons learned 
in bringing a results orientation to community mobiliza-
tion, strategic planning, and overall best practices; 
Whereas during the last two years more than 100 non-profit 
groups in southern California have benefited enormously 
from exposure they could not otherwise have received but 
for the Festival of Children Foundation, principally 
through programs and activities at South Coast Plaza, 
one of the Nation’s premier retail, commercial and cul-
tural centers, where more than 2,000,000 visitors are es-
timated to have seen the Festival’s exhibits; 
Whereas September is a time, as children return to school, 
that families and the Nation as a whole are especially 
mindful of children and their special needs and opportu-
nities; 
Whereas in September 2004 the Festival of Children Founda-
tion, in partnership with South Coast Plaza and Chil-
dren’s Hospital, has invited 50 agencies and organiza-
tions that serve children throughout southern California 
to have a month of high profile exhibits at South Coast 
Plaza, along with another 50 such groups to participate
•HRES 759 IH 
in other programs and activities as part the Foundation’s 
ongoing mission; and 
Whereas the Orange County, California Board of Supervisors 
and the California State Legislature have previously 
taken official actions commending the Festival of Chil-
dren and recognizing September as ‘‘Child Awareness 
Month;’’: Now, therefore, be it— 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) commends the Festival of Children Founda-
tion for its outstanding efforts on behalf of children; 
(2) expresses its support for the designation of 
a ‘‘Child Awareness Month’’ in the United States; 
and 
(3) encourages others across the Nation, includ-
ing local governments, non-profit organizations, 
businesses, volunteers, and philanthropists, to look 
at the Festival of Children in California as a model 
to emulate for the support of those groups devoted 
to children in their own communities.
