Join us on June 3 for the Day of Compassion — a citywide day of service honoring the legacy of Muhammad Ali through community action.

In partnership with Blueprint 502, we’ll be helping care for one of our park spaces through litter cleanup, weeding, and general beautification efforts.

It’s a great opportunity to give back, connect with others, and help make a positive impact in our community 💚
