Donate to MLK Holiday Events

Please consider donating to the Duluth NAACP to support the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday events for our community. The NAACP is investing significant time and resources to make these events possible, but we need the help of the entire community to pay for them.  

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day Planning Committee is sharing details of the financial needs of MLK weekend events and providing context to increase transparency and help community organizations and individuals understand the specifics of the MLK budget. Projected costs for events are as follows: worship service ($1000), breakfast ($4,000), march ($1000), and rally ($6,000.)   Please do your part to help support these events. 
Goal: $12,000.00
