I think it’s safe to say that the Elmhurst College Acts of Random Kindness club’s first fundraiser was a huge success. They really went above and beyond anything that we had imagined. Thank you to everyone who came out on Sunday. While we tried to personally thank all of you at the event, I am sure there are a few that we might have missed. We do appreciate each and every one of you for your support and generosity.
We collected pictures from a few of our friends and I want to share some of them here. I normally try to be cautious when posting pictures of people without getting their permission, but I figured that since this was a public event, I didn’t need to go crazy and block out everyone’s faces. I just focused on blurring out the kids.
Here is us with the Elmhurst College chaplain, Lili and Katie (the founders of the Acts of Random Kindness club) welcoming and thanking everyone for coming out to the walk.
We were really amazed by the amount of people that showed up.
They had bag toss and other games set up for people to play.
They had a few tables set up to raffle off some items.
Let the walk begin:
One of the really cool things that they did was they had chalk for people to write kind words or quotes on the path. I am not sure if this was all of them, or if we missed some.
It was a really good turnout, and we were pretty wiped out when we got home. Thanks again for all of your support, kindness, and generosity. You all hold a special place in our hearts. I am looking forward to seeing what future events the Acts of Random Kindness club does.
