Eight thousand volunteers from Eli Lilly & Company gathered together with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB) and 30 community partner organizations on October 6th to complete 46 projects that promote health and wellness throughout the near eastside, near westside, Lafayette Square Area, and Massachusetts Avenue. In addition to this, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful was joined by the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee as they planted the 2012th tree of the "2012 by 2012" tree planting initiative. The 2012th tree, planted at Pogue's Run Art and Nature Park, was also the 30,000 tree planted by KIB in the NeighborWoods Program, which has a goal of planting 100,000 trees in Indianapolis by 2017.
I was truly honored and humbled to be a part of this day.
This is community...
This is belief in a better tomorrow...
This is making a difference...
This is pouring your heart into something larger than yourself...
