House Concurrent Resolution No. 78 recognizes the Lone Star Santas organization for its dedicated efforts in bringing holiday joy to children and families in need across Texas and beyond. Established in 2007, the nonprofit has conducted over 30 "Convoy of Toys" events, particularly focusing on communities affected by natural disasters, such as the tornado in Joplin, Missouri, in 2011. The organization operates entirely through volunteers, who generously donate their time, resources, and expenses to fulfill its mission of spreading hope and goodwill.

In honor of their contributions, the resolution designates September 16 as Lone Star Santas Charities Day in Texas. This designation will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage, highlighting the ongoing impact of the Lone Star Santas and their commitment to serving those facing adversity. The resolution was adopted by both the House and Senate with overwhelming support, reflecting the appreciation of the Texas Legislature for the organization's charitable work.
