The Random Acts of Kindness Challenge is back!
Want to contribute to our community but don’t know where to begin? Grab your friends, neighbors, colleagues, families and join us during this season of giving as we challenge you to fill your free moments with acts of kindness—big and small.
Register for the Random Acts of Kindness Challenge by pledging a donation of any size.
Choose from the list of ideas below to spread kindness throughout the community.
EARN POINTS for each act of kindness and for donations in increments of $25.00. Keep track of your Random Acts of Kindness and tally your score.
Help us spread the kindness by sharing the Random Acts of Kindness Challenge with your communities, networks, and on social media.
After the Challenge has ended, we’ll announce the winners and celebrate with a kindness party for YOU.
All funds raised through the challenge will help keep the ripple of kindness going through our community by benefitting local organizations and partnering with local businesses to surprise some of our heroes with treats of appreciation. 100% of donations go right back into our community.
