We've teamed up with the United Way to help get the word out about their Live United Days. Sandman and I went out and performed a couple random acts of kindness, and we'd like you to do the same.

We have all kinds of left over goodies here at the radio station...usually prizes that don't get picked up in time. So instead of letting these prizes expire, we thought we'd give them away to some folks, just because.

I've been the recipient of a random act of kindness before and it totally made my day. It was completely unexpected and completely appreciated. If you've received something like too then you know what I'm talking about. So how about you let someone else experience that same feeling?

United Way of Southwestern Indiana Challenges the Community to Do Random Acts of Kindness

Starting September 7th, United Way of Southwestern Indiana challenges companies, agencies, schools, and individuals to participate in LIVE UNITED DAYS and perform random acts of kindness. United Way asks that you record or take photos then post and share them with United Way on social media. “All we are asking is for you to do something nice for someone, sometime this week. These can be small or big acts of kindness. We also encourage you to share them with us on social media by using the #LIVEUNITEDDAYS,” stated Amanda Newman, Director of Marketing and Communications of United Way of Southwestern Indiana.

These acts of kindness can be things such as paying for the meal of the person behind you in the drive-thru or sending greeting cards to loved ones. United Way encourages everyone to be creative, make it fun, and then share it on social media. Newman also stated, “United Way encourages all organizations to challenge each other to participate in sharing random acts of kindness… which demonstrates how great things really do happen when we LIVE UNITED.”

United Way will then share these on September 11th as they kick off their Day of Caring event at the Old National Events Plaza. Day of Caring will begin at 7:00 a.m. with a breakfast and short program before deploying roughly 1,100 volunteers into the community to help non profits with various projects.
