The City of Durham Proclaims ‘Never Give Up Day’

DURHAM, NC – The City of Durham joins community members across the country in celebrating Never Give Up Day on August 18, 2022, and calls upon their citizens to make this day a springboard for awareness-raising actions. Never Give Up Day is a global celebration day focused on cultivating a mindset of determination. The day encourages awareness-raising activities, (sports) events, runs and/or walks for charity, workshops, and community programs. Health care and social associations, organizations, and charities can initiate their call to action and fundraising events. All in all, Never Give Up Day provides a common platform for individuals and professionals to use their imagination and judgment to innovate to inspire.

Watch the promotional trailer:

“Never Give Up Day is a life-changing campaign that contributes positively to the city and its residents. No matter what cause or charity the city’s many associations represent, every mission is directly or tangentially related to Never Give Up Day.”

The day not only applauds people for reaching their goals but also supports those who are still trying to achieve their goals. Most importantly, the countless stories and testimonials from those who faced incredible odds, but nonetheless refused to give up, showcase the impactful resilience and determination in our community.

Never Give Up Day was first observed in 2019. However, it was not until 2021, 3 years after the celebratory day was founded, that U.S. city mayors approved to proclaim August 18th as Never Give Up Day, making this day a nationwide celebration day.

Babe Ruth’s saying suits best for this day: “You can’t beat the person who never gives up.”
