H.R. No. 669 is a resolution recognizing March 26, 2025, as Upbring Advocacy Day in Texas. Upbring is a nonprofit organization that has been dedicated to supporting youth and families through foster care and adoption since its founding in the mid-19th century. Originally known by various names, Upbring has evolved into a direct-action organization that focuses on advancing children's well-being and providing a safe environment for over 14,000 young Texans each year. The organization connects youth with foster families, assists in the adoption process, and offers residential programs for trauma survivors, making significant contributions to the community and the lives of vulnerable children.
The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' recognition of Upbring's long-standing commitment to helping youth and families, highlighting the organization's impact on over 100,000 youth in the past decade. It extends best wishes for continued success in their important work and calls for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for Upbring as a sign of high regard from the Texas House.
