MIAMI – The Nova Southeastern rowing team participated in a day of service this past weekend to celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
The Sharks united with over 1,000 other volunteers in a restoration project for Madison Middle School in Miami. This effort, the largest MLK Day 2013 project in South Florida, was coordinated by City Year Miami.
“We were excited about this opportunity to give back to our community and work with our fellow South Floridians,” said head coach Stephen Frazier Wong. “It was humbling to see so many people come out to this service event.”
City Year celebrated Dr. King's birthday as a "day ON, not a day off” by honoring his legacy through service projects such as painting murals, restoring park areas, landscaping community spaces and leading educational activities for children.
Over 900 people came out to City Year Miami's service last year to help renovate Miami Northwestern Senior High School in the Liberty City Community with murals, painting, gardening and construction projects.
