IN RECOGNITION OF ROBERT HILLER
______
HON. VICKY HARTZLER
of missouri
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, June 16, 2021
Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the service of Robert Hiller, also known as “Racecar Bob”, on his efforts to raise money for the Sedalia, Missouri Drug Abuse Resistance Education
(D.A.R.E.) program.
Bob has been serving his community and the region for over three decades, working with law enforcement agencies across seven different states. He has done this with the help of his iconic racecar–he offers rides and appears in the program’s annual car show in order to raise money as well as spread awareness. Next year will be Bob’s 31st appearance in the car show–the same number as his racecar.
The Sedalia D.A.R.E. Officers, through Bob’s efforts, have been able to serve around 20,000 students without having to rely on public tax money, and they will be able to do so for another seven years without needing future funding. Additionally, the program has been able to establish two $500 scholarships for local high school students.
Bob has had an incredible impact in educating young people about the dangers of substance abuse and making sure they stay safe and healthy. We are incredibly grateful for his service.
