House Joint Resolution 1416, sponsored by Faison, honors the community of Sunset Gap in Cocke County as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. The resolution recognizes Sunset Gap as a Christian-based organization that has played a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for the Appalachian people through various programs focused on physical, social, economic, and spiritual growth. The celebration, designated as "Sunset Gap Day," is set to take place on July 4, 2024, marking a century of service that began with the establishment of Juniper School in 1899 to address educational needs in the area.

Over the years, Sunset Gap has evolved to meet the changing needs of the community, expanding its services to include health clinics, recreational activities, and support for local farming practices. The organization has also addressed food insecurity through its Food Pantry and thrift store, while providing assistance with home repairs during the summer months. The resolution expresses appreciation for Sunset Gap's contributions to the state and encourages the residents of Cocke County to join in the celebration of this significant milestone.
