4. The Benefit?
Communities are mobilized to
celebrate local “heroes” and in the
process spirits are lifted. Students
and communities are educated while
green parks are established for the
enjoyment of all. Each park will serve
as the catalyst to a grass roots green
movement that will grow throughout
the community.
5. “United We Serve.”

initiative... “United We Serve,” established to support his vision of “rebuilding the
foundation of our country one community at a time.”
6. Milestones.
Early in 2007 - Filmmaker and photographer Mil
Cannon, a Savannah Georgia native, was inspired
to reunite communities through an American Ball
Parks movement. Mil’s goals were to bring a
community together again at the ballpark and to
ultimately have a local park named to honor his
grandfather, E.E. Lennox Sr., who had dedicated
his life to giving back through his support of
youth athletics and public parks in Savannah.
