Georgia House Resolution honoring Jesse and Emily Cole, founders of the Savannah Bananas baseball team established on February 25, 2016

Savannah Bananas have sold out every game since 2018 and are recognized nationally as the "Greatest Show In Sports"

Georgia currently has 9,500 children in foster care, highlighting the need for additional foster parents that this initiative addresses
