Throughout our lives there are moments when we all have relied on the help of others to get us through certain situations.
Many of us have donated some time, energy or other resources with our families, workplaces, faith groups and neighbors to help to make others lives a little better through volunteerism. The concept of "Paying it Forward" is instilled in many of us from what seems to always come back to us via the good feelings and sense of contribution, when you help out others.
Over the last few weeks, I've floated the idea of coming up with a specific day in the year, where individuals can get together with their neighbors, friends, families, suppliers or customers in their communities and find ways to help out. The response has been amazing. Not only have folks offered up their commitment to set aside a day, but many are asking how they can help further . . how they can have their companies or organizations involved . . and how they are planning on including even more people from beyond our industry to get out and help.
We've select Saturday November 6th as our first annual Promotional Professionals Pay if Forward Day.
We have a Facebook Fan Page for now at:
Look for more information there, here and via many of the other organizations that have offered up to help get the word out.
For those of you that would like to assist even further, please leave a comment here on this blog post.
Thank you to everyone for what they do to make their communities a better place!
