YOU ARE STILL OFFERING
OPPORTUNITIES TO DO ALL KIND OF
THINGS ACROSS THE CITY.

LIKE FOR YOU GUYS TO KNOW -- YOU
SAY YOU HAVE ROOM FOR 1,000, YOU
HAVE ALREADY REACHED 800.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO KNOW
THAT JACKSONVILLE IS SO INVOLVED
IN GIVING BACK TO THEIR
COMMUNITY?
>> I WOULD SAY WORKING WITH
GREAT PARTNERS LIKE UNITED WAY
AND HANDS ON JACKSONVILLE, WE
HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS COMMUNITY
IS SO GENEROUS AND IT IS A
PHENOMENAL TO JUST VISUALLY SEE
THOUSANDS OR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE,
NOT JUST COMING OUT FOR THE
SERVICE DAY, BUT AS YOU SAID
THERE IS A PARADE AND SO MANY
OTHER THINGS THAT AFTERNOON AND
THAT MORNING THAT REALLY
DEMONSTRATE THE LEGACY OF A MAN
WHO STOOD FOR GIVING BACK TO
OTHERS.
THIS IS REALLY EXCITING TO BE
ABLE TO SEE AND HEAR WHAT
JACKSONVILLE DOES ALL YEAR LONG.

TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL.
WHOLE FAMILIES CAN COME.
>> AND CORPORATE GROUPS.
YOU WANT TO GET A GROUP
TOGETHER, COME OUT.
WE NEED YOU.
>> Eden: AND IT WOULD BE NICE
IF EMPLOYERS WOULD BE NICE TO
LET THEIR EMPLOYEES KNOW IT IS
NOT A VACATION DAY AND GET OUT
THERE AND DO WORK FOR THE
COMMUNITY.
>> WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVEN
THOSE IN STROLLERS.
WE HAVE PROJECTS THAT HELP
SUPPORT AND GIVE FINANCE
IAL
STABILITY THAT WILL ALLOW THE
WHOLE FAMILY TO BE INVOLVED.
