COMMUNITY. 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to honor Gregory "GG" 
Jackson II of Camden for his philanthropic efforts within the Kershaw County 
community and his outstanding achievements in the National Basketball 
Association (NBA); and

Whereas, a role model 
and student athlete, GG Jackson attended school in Kershaw County until his 
graduation from Camden Middle School. He is a notable alumnus of the Jackson 
Teen Center in Camden and Ridge View High School in Columbia. His exceptional 
talent and dedication to basketball led to his enrollment at the University of 
South Carolina. As a freshman on the basketball team at the University of South 
Carolina, he completed eighteen credit hours and made the Dean's List. After 
his freshman year, he was drafted to play in the NBA by the Memphis Grizzlies; 
and

Whereas, GG Jackson has 
consistently demonstrated a commitment to leveraging his success to benefit his 
community, exemplified by his introduction of the "Groom and Grind Day" event at 
the Jackson Teen Center. This initiative is aimed at ensuring that every child 
in Kershaw County is prepared for a successful first day of school and raises 
awareness about the critical issue of bullying; and

Whereas, the "Groom and 
Grind Day" event reflects Mr. Jackson's dedication to fostering a supportive 
and nurturing environment for the youth of Kershaw County by providing 
essential resources, mentorship, and advocacy against bullying, thereby 
contributing to the overall well-being and development of children in the 
community; and

Whereas, his ongoing 
efforts to give back to his community not only highlight his personal integrity 
and leadership, but also serve as inspiration to others by demonstrating the 
positive impact that professional athletes can have on their communities 
through philanthropy and civic engagement; and

Whereas, the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives express their sincere gratitude to GG 
Jackson for his unwavering support and dedication to the youth of Kershaw 
County, particularly through the impactful "Groom and Grind Day" initiative. Now, 
therefore, 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, honor and recognize Gregory "GG" Jackson II for his 
outstanding professional basketball achievements and his philanthropic 
contributions to the Kershaw County community.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Gregory "GG" Jackson II.
