Each year, the Muhammad Ali Center and Metro United Way partner to host “The Greatest Give Back,” a day of service honoring The Greatest and Louisville’s own humanitarian legend, Muhammad Ali. The Greatest Give Back is a signature event of the annual Ali Festival, a weeklong celebration that marks the anniversary of the passing of The People’s Champ. In honor of Ali’s legacy of humanitarianism, volunteers engage in service projects throughout the day, fulfilling Ali’s lifelong commitment to service to others and demonstrating that Louisville is a truly compassionate city.

The Greatest Give Back is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers of all ages, families, companies, and groups to contribute to our community’s well-being while honoring the legacy of the Greatest of All Time. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and abilities and provide all necessary materials and training. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer or new to community service, The Greatest Give Back is a fantastic way to get involved and make a difference in the lives of others. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to honor the legacy of Muhammad Ali and make a positive impact in our community. 2025 details are coming soon!
