Bill > HR258

This resolution honors FlameGuard, a fire prevention business founded by students and alumni from Jackson Township High School, for winning first place at the 2025 De La Vega Global Entrepreneurship Awards. The resolution highlights the company's founders—Justin Lackey, Joe Lattarulo, Matt Smith, Zach Ferguson, and Jack Lancy—who were inspired by a recent tragedy to create a business that could give back to their community. Prior to their global award, the team had already secured the Junior Achievement USA Company of the Year Award at the 2024 National Student Leadership Summit. The resolution commends these young entrepreneurs for their commitment, innovation, and ability to overcome challenges, noting that their success demonstrates how conscientious individuals with clear objectives can make significant achievements. The Ohio House of Representatives officially applauds FlameGuard for its outstanding performance and wishes the company a bright future, with the final provision directing the House Clerk to send an authenticated copy of the resolution to FlameGuard.
