Random Acts of Kindness Week

Random Acts of Kindness Week, February 12 - 18, is simply just that - a week for everyone to celebrate kindness, given and received. There is no catch to this, nothing but wanting to make someones day a bit brighter by committing to one random act of kindness during this week. Don’t forget, if you receive and act of kindness - pay it forward!

Unsure of some ideas? Follow some ideas offered by the web site for both adults and children. These are simple ideas that you will be able to do with ease. There is always paying a little more at the drive thru in the morning for coffee to pay for the car behind you. You will be surprised at the kindness forwarded by your one token of generosity.

The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation offers a great web site for children, parents, and teachers to learn about teaching the importance of giving and kindness. The site offers graphics, such as bookmarks and postcards that you can use, as well as downloads that can be used as part of a school lesson or even at home as a family activity.

What are you thinking will be your random act of kindness?

 

Take a Walk on the Charity Side

The first ever Gal to Gal Foundation Virtual Walk 2007 is underway and the foundation is asking for your help to support those with Stage IV breast cancer. 

The virtual walk began October 1^st in Boston, MA and will end in San Francisco, CA.  Along each stop on the virtual walk, you can meet new women from around the country that have contributed and read their inspiring stories.

Currently the walk is on Day 4 - Baltimore, MD - near my hometown and so far the walk has approximately 3,205 walkers on their way to California - I happen to be one of them, #3153 :)!  By the end of October, The Gal to Gal Foundation hopes to reach their goal of 1,000,000 registered walkers.

You can help too!  Registering for the walk is simple and requires a small donation of $3.00.  All donations benefit those with Stage IV breast cancer.  As a way of saying “Thanks” for donating and joining the walk, Design-Her Gal is offering a 20% discount on ANY product at their web site.  Use PROMO CODE: GOWALK.

 

LEAN CUISINE® Lunch Bag Offer

Normally I don’t post about sales or purchasing this or that.  I am writing about this because breast cancer has hit close to home for me many times and I believe anytime I can help raise funds to support efforts in finding a cure, I will do it.

For the past six years, LEAN CUISINE^®and Susan G. Komen for the Cure have a great partnership in both raising awareness and funds in the fight against breast cancer.  The partnership has raised over $1 million to aid in finding a cure. 

In 2007, an estimated 178,480 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.  Funds raised by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure will go towards research, prevention, and treatment.

You can help fight against breast cancer by purchasing a 2007 LEAN CUISINE^® insulated designer lunch bag.  The bags are on sale now for $9.95 each and $5 from the purchase price of every bag is donated to Komen for the Cure.
