Former President Bill Clinton will be honored by the King Center during the annual Salute to Greatness Awards Dinner in January.

Clinton will be recognized for his work with the Clinton Foundation, including his bi-partisan efforts with the Clinton Global Initiative. He will receive the one of the center’s highest honors - the Salute to Greatness Award.

“The dinner is our primary fundraiser and provides an opportunity for The King Center to recognize an individual and a corporation that reflect excellence in leadership and a commitment to social responsibility in the spirit of my father,” said King Center CEO Bernice A. King.

The event will be held Jan. 17 at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta hotel.
