Honor a Dream Maker
Your donation will help support lifelong learning for everyone in our community.
Our city’s MLK Library, built in 1972, was the first memorial in the United States to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a fitting tribute to a man whose powerful voice shared a dream for our nation.
Dr. King believed that education, learning and dreaming are all connected.
50 years later, the MLK Library is truly a place that inspires dreamers and emboldens dreams.
Our city is a proud place where citizens from all walks of life do great things every day.
As engaged members of families, schools, churches and workplaces in our community, we support those around us. As parents, grandparents, educators, employers, caregivers… we teach our children, share words of comfort to those in need, and mentor our colleagues.
Through simple acts, we inspire those around us to follow their dreams.
