Mil originally had a dream in 2007 to resurrect his childhood community parks in Savannah to inspire families to reconnect on a personal level, encouraging revitalization of community. That dream has evolved into a global effort. Mil created an American Parks Movement called “Pack the Park” affectionately referred to as “The Peoples Stimulus Package for Parks”. This mobilization effort is a revolu
tionary concept as well as a “pay it forward” solution at this critical moment in history. It is an opportunity that stimulates the community to rise up and become part of the solution while building community that accepts all social economic status, color or creed, physical or mental disability. The “Pack” has found an effective way to motivate and rehabilitate broken communities. Mil’s vision has inspired a congressman, two governors and a mayor to officially award proclamations in support of this effort. He has built a following of over 10,000 participants, presented 16 visionary awards, 5000 medallions and over 100 Pack partnership statuettes to individuals and corporations. This entire journey is documented with over 100 hours of HD footage and 10,000 photographs. It is safe to say that “Pack the Park” is moving at the speed of life and Mil’s vision is truly infectious.
