SEPTEMBER 2022

21 years ago, the world learned a poignant lesson in compassion, generosity, and finding light & community in the darkest of moments. Inspired by the Newfoundlanders who opened their arms, hearts, and homes to strangers without a second thought, for 5 days, we will honor, commemorate, and come together to spread kindness and give back.

“On September 11th, we honor what was lost; on September 12th, we commemorate what we’ve found.”

JOIN US FOR 5 DAYS OF GIVING BACK AND COMMEMORATING.

• MONDAY, 9.12: PAY IT FORWARD DAY
• PAY IT FORWARD 9/11
  Join Kevin T’s ripple effect by doing 3 acts of kindness in and around your community. Then, pay it forward by inspiring others to do the same. Join Kevin’s mission to do 22,000 good deeds for 2022 and the 11 Days of Kindness & Unity campaign from September 1-11.
• LITTLE WORDS PROJECT
