The word LAST is placed over a purple and blue shape, and CHANCE is placed over a red and orange shape. The hourglass is surrounded by a gold starburst pattern. The image background is red with slight rays radiating out from the middle. Various white zig-zag lines and dot patterns accent the LAST CHANCE wording.

And we ask that you continue to honor Dr. King's ideals and continue to try to fulfil his dream by always asking yourself, "What am I doing for others?" (3/3)

Dr. King himself said "Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"

So today as we all reflect on Dr. King's impact and legacy, we want to thank all Collegiate EMS providers and other first responders for the work you already do to help your communities. (2/3)
