Muhammad Ali Center Receives Gift

Earlier today, the Muhammad Ali Center announced that the UPS Foundation has gifted then center $500,000. The money will be used to fund education initiatives and the Council of Students.

Some of the programs that will receive funding are:

• Generation Ali – a program that is guided by the six principles that Ali followed. The program is also designed to help students become leaders and understand how to fight for a cause.
• Creating Out Future – designed for middle and high school young adults to understand the six principles of Ali’s life and how to use them in their future planning.
• Council of Students – a program for students who participate in service work to help them develop skills, such as how to work in projects and develop leadership.
