Surprise’s next Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration in January will include a campaign to highlight the work of residents who honor MLK’s legacy.
The city invited the community to share their acts of service by participating in the annual #SurpriseCelebratesMLK Challenge.
Based on King’s words, “Everybody can be great because everybody can serve,” the challenge encourages participants to share photos, videos or creative expressions that answer the question: “How do you serve?”
The challenge leads up to the 10th annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Celebration and Service, which will be held on Saturday, Jan. 17.
To be part of the challenge, service can include: volunteering at a local nonprofit, participating in a Surprise day of service event, helping a neighbor with daily tasks, delivering a meal to someone in need or any act that brings kindness and support to the community.
Participants can submit their stories of service at surpriseaz.gov/MLKChallenge by Wednesday Dec. 31 to be considered for inclusion in the MLK Day of Celebration and Service event.
