Random Acts of Kindness Challenge
( A Community Philanthropy Project for the Holiday Season)
How it works:
1. Register for the Random Acts of Kindness Challenge by pledging a donation of any size.
2. Choose from the list of ideas below to spread kindness throughout the community.
3. 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. We’ll choose winners based on highest total scores.
4. Help us spread the kindness by sharing the Random Acts of Kindness Challenge with your communities, networks, and on social media.
5. After the Challenge has ended, we’ll announce the winners and celebrate with a kindness party for YOU.
6. Funds raised through the challenge will support Pay-it-Forward Gestures of Kindness at local businesses for the helpers in our community.
- 10% of the proceeds from this year’s Random Acts of Kindness Challenge will help to fund Be Kind FoCo’s ongoing kindness initiatives and to continue to provide them for free to the community.
