In addition to Kids for Peace, a wide range of other groups were involved in both promoting and participating in The Great Kindness Challenge. As noted in an earlier post, Kids Care Clubs promoted the Challenge to its 1,800 chapters worldwide. One of them prepared a special dinner for cancer survivors. A group of Girl Scouts delivered treats to local fire stations and their public library. One YMCA involved all 250 of its campers in acts of kindness. A first-grade teacher made it a class project for her 20 students. Boys and Girls Clubs, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, church groups and many other organizations also took part.
Many families also found The Great Kindness Challenge to be a great way to spend time together that Saturday, if not also a way to strengthen familial bonds by working together in a common cause. In one of our favorite comments on our Facebook Fan Page, one family said it was their “favorite event of the year.”
Thanks to everyone involved for making this event so special.
