Help Commemorate 9/11 through Service!

As we reflect on the events of September 11, 2001, we remember that out of tragedy, good things can happen (like Band Together!). Join fellow do-gooders next Wednesday, September 11 at 6 PM at the Red Hat Amphitheater for the Evening Commemoration of Activate Raleigh, the 9/11 Day of Service coordinated by Activate Good and the Downtown Raleigh Alliance!Enjoy live music, participate in hands-on service projects, bring non-perishable items for an on-site food drive, and hear words from Mayor Nancy McFarlane and Activate Good to wrap up this community-wide day of service.
