On January, 18, 2010, people of all ages and backgrounds will come together to improve lives, bridge social barriers, and move our nation closer to the “Beloved Community” that Dr. King envisioned. Dr. Martin Luther King devoted his life’s work to causes of equality and social justice. He taught that through nonviolence and service to one another, problems such as hunger and homelessness, prejudice and discrimination can be overcome. Dr. King’s teachings can continue to guide us in addressing our nation’s most pressing needs—-poverty, economic insecurity, job loss and education. Volunteer with Americans across the nation on the 2010 King Day of Service and make a real difference in your community.

Got SERVICE?!
“What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.”
- From the Inauguration Speech of President Barack Obama
I’ve been fortunate to assist many organizations from around the globe that use sport to impact their communities in a positive and meaningful way. One of the organizations that I support is Street Soccer USA/SSUSA. SSUSA’s phenomenal team and their efforts were just featured in People Magazine and are planning an important fund raising event on January 27th in DC. If your travels take you to our nation’s capital on the 27th, or you reside in the DC area, try to make it to the event - Lawrence Cann + the SSUSA team would appreciate you giving a little LUV to their sport for social change effort.
A 100 Day Call-to-Action: over the next 100 days…determine your service options/opportunities, make a commitment to activate your service idea and be a human catalyst in your community!
