Can Do Luncheon

Can Do Luncheon - April 18, 2018

THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at the annual Can Do Luncheon on April 18th at new Marriott Downtown at the Capitol District.

Our keynote, Maryum Ali, gave a fantastic presentation that was truly engaging and inspiring. Affectionately known as May May, she was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois and is the eldest child of boxing legend Muhammad Ali’s nine children. As a little girl, her father asked her what she thought her purpose in life was and she replied, “I want to help people.” Maryum’s efforts to help people have manifested in a myriad of ways throughout her life.
