Share #SomethingGood and Help Raise $1 Million for Charity
For those old enough to remember Anne Murray's song "A Little Good News" we can all agree with several of the song's lyrics.
I'll come home this evenin'
I'll bet that the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I want to hear the anchor man talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care
Whoa, tell meNobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
We sure could use a little good news today
Well, couldn't we? I'd love to think that we would all just spend one day focused on the "good." Apparently, the clothing company "Life Is Good," who are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, also want to hear about the positives in our world, and they're willing to pay for it!
They're donating one dollar to charity every time someone posts the hashtag "SomethingGood" on social media. And along with the hashtag, they want us to post something positive. Maybe you just had a new baby, or your little leaguer won the State Tournament, or maybe it's just an encouraging piece of poetry.
All the money will go to the Life Is Good Kids Foundation, which helps victims of early childhood trauma. They'll donate up to $1 million if a million post and this will run through November.
Just share #SomethingGood on social media, or through their website LifeIsGood.com.
