Pay It Forward Day is Coming to Saint John, New Brunswick April 25th, 2013

4 Mar RVMS Pay it Forward Picture

Pay it Forward Saint John is hoping to inspire the people in the Saint John Region to participate in International Pay It Forward Day on April 25th, 2013. As of February 28th, there are 55 days left until Pay It Forward Day, which will mark the beginning of the Ripple Effect of kindness in our community.

Recently, members of the Pay It Forward Saint John Committee presented the idea to the Regional Mayors’ Caucus and we look forward to regional support through municipal proclamations and participation on April 25th.

There is tremendous power and positive energy in giving – it is a shame that not enough people have experienced it to the fullest. Pay It Forward Day is about all people, from all walks of life, giving to someone else and making a positive difference. At last count there were more than 38 countries around the world participating in the day.

So why Pay it Forward?

  • To encourage all of us to embrace the incredible power of giving.
  • To show each other that we care and that there is love, hope and magic all around us.
  • To know that we may be only one person in this world, but to one person, at one time, we are the world. Continue reading →
