Every year, the Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service selects a signature site: the hub of more than 100 projects and some 3,000 volunteers throughout the region. This is the center of media focus and where volunteers are expected to include the mayor and other elected officials, sponsors, community leaders and students from throughout the region. We are delighted to announce that Girard College has agreed to host our 15th annual Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service signature site project at the Armory and other venues on campus. With ample space available in the Armory and adjoining rooms and buildings, we anticipate having the largest series of projects in our history at a signature site.

We are grateful to Girard College's new and dynamic president, Autumn Adkins, and her terrific team for hosting us on January 18. The campus has a fascinating history, was a focal point of the civil rights movement, and the site of a historic 1965 protest in which Dr. King participated to open admission to students from all backgrounds. Significantly, this day will mark the 45th anniversary of Dr. King's participation in that 1965 demonstration.
