Texas Sen. Robert Duncan Honored by AMERIGROUP Foundation
The AMERIGROUP Foundation reported that state Senator Robert Duncan of Lubbock, Texas, has been honored with its “Champion for Children” award.
The award is part of the AMERIGROUP Foundation’s national program recognizing outstanding public advocacy efforts by government and community leaders in improving the health and well-being of the nation’s children.
“Our goal is to work together with local leaders and citizens for the benefit of healthier communities, and that starts with children,” said Aileen McCormick, CEO of AMERIGROUP Community Care in Texas. “Senator Duncan and his efforts represent terrific examples of what we can all accomplish when we keep the end result in mind. We’re thrilled to recognize him for his work, and we’re equally excited to witness achievements that will assist in making our kids and communities healthier.”
To commemorate Senator Duncan’s commitment to children in the Lubbock area, a $2,500 Foundation check will be presented to the South Plains Children’s Shelter during a reception at the facility. The shelter provides short-term emergency care for abused children, creates stability for those in its care, teaches skills for success in long-term placement or at home, and strives to prevent involvement in the criminal justice system.
Senator Duncan said he is honored by the award and appreciative of the Foundation’s support in Lubbock.
“The AMERIGROUP Foundation’s commitment and many contributions to healthy communities have been tremendous, and it’s my pleasure to work with them to improve children’s chances for success,” Duncan said.
