The Celebration included the Community Service Recognition Breakfast, the Memorial March, and recognition of the Youth Program – bringing together thousands of people to honor Dr. King.
The Celebration also featured a Keynote Speaker, special performances and the presentation of the Drum Major for Community Service Award which is given to individuals who have volunteered their time and resources to improving communities in St. Joseph County.
