“For every one negative story you hear in the news, there are thousands of positive stories happening every day that go unnoticed.” – Greg Alia
Those were the words of Greg Alia, the late husband of Serve and Connect creator Kassy Alia. Shortly after making that statement, Alia says her then husband Greg was gunned down in the line of duty responding to a suspicious person call September 30th, 2015.
Now, in the 4th year for the event, Alia is determined to keep his memory alive through activism and elebrating his life and legacy and the positive stories of how the communtiy and police continue working together to make this a safer place to live.
