We are excited that we now have over 80 countries participating in Pay it Forward Day with over 100 state and city proclamations.
Pay It Forward Day is a global initiative that exists to make a difference by creating a huge ripple of kindness felt across the world. Of course, our hope is that people pay kindness forward every day and make each day that little bit brighter. We believe that small acts, when multiplied by millions of people can literally change the world for the better — and on April 28th we’ll set out to prove it! For this year’s international Pay it Forward Day (PIFD) we are aiming to inspire over 20 million acts of kindness around the world. Imagine the difference that would make! Join us in paying it forward, and help spread the word about this important day!
