"Everybody can be great. because everybody can serve."
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Appalachian State University & ACT celebrated the 21st anniversary of the MLK Challenge. Hundreds of participants met to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King through a day of service, reflection, and education. Volunteers gave their time, energy, and talents to make the High Country a brighter place by working alongside 20+ Community Partners. True to its name, layers of challenges were woven into this day. Give up a potential day off from work or school to serve others. Meet new people and volunteer together. Learn something new while approaching problems with a positive attitude.
Through rain, snow, or shine, it's all part of the challenge. In one day, MLK volunteers helped some of the most impactful Community Partners in Watagua County!
ACT thanks our donors who generously donated to the MLK Silent Auction!
