A Resolution recognizing October 18, 2024, as "Willie Thrower Day" in Pennsylvania.

This bill designates October 18, 2024, as "Willie Thrower Day" throughout Pennsylvania to honor the legacy of Willie Lee Thrower, Sr. The resolution recognizes Thrower as the first African-American quarterback to take a snap in modern NFL history and acknowledges his achievements, including winning a national championship with Michigan State. It follows a similar designation made in 2023 for New Kensington and builds on existing tributes like historical markers and statues already present in the state. The measure is a commemorative action that does not create new laws or funding but serves to officially celebrate Thrower's contributions to sports.
