All Together Now: A Season of Service, Happening Tonight at the Kennedy Center!
Tonight we honor President and Mrs. George H. W. Bush for their leadership in founding and advancing the modern-day service movement in the Tribute event All Together Now: A Celebration of Service in Washington, D.C. The event will be broadcasted for all to watch on Monday March 28th from 8-9 p.m. on NBC. Entertainers include Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock, and Carrie Underwood, among others.
This historic event was created to celebrate the power of voluntary action and its essential role in solving our national challenges and to recognize everyone around the nation who are positively changing the lives of others. The audience is made up of many of the Daily Points of Light Award winners along with those who are closely connected to the service movement.
In a Fox News interview earlier this month President George H. W. Bush discussed the importance of volunteering and specifically Points of Light Institute saying:
“I keep repeating there could be no definition of a successful life that does not include service to others. That is what the whole concept of Points of Light is about and volunteerism.”

President George H. W. Bush encourages everyone to get involved in civic service:
“Get in the arena in doing something, making something happen, trying to benefit others, and that’s noble.”
