The Muhammad Ali Center and Metro United Way are partnering on the third annual Greatest Give Back initiative, a community service project that marks Muhammad Ali’s birthday and continues the annual tradition of facilitating and encouraging acts of service for those in our community who need a little extra help. The Greatest Giveback will take place at the Ali Center on Friday, January 14th—the date which leads into Muhammad’s 80th birthday on Monday, January 17th, and that also coincides with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The Greatest Give Back will include three different service projects throughout the day with each requiring a two-hour shift (9:00-11:00am, 12:00-2:00pm, and 3:00-5:00pm). Volunteers can sign up HERE. Due to the ongoing pandemic, capacity limitations will be in place for each shift so individuals are encouraged to sign up early.
This year’s theme is “TKO the need in our community: Time, Kindness, and Offering” and the volunteer projects are:
T (Time) GIVE A LITTLE OF YOUR TIME AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE
