The Rack Friday 2015 campaign tallied over 500 posts of random acts of kindness, falling short of the year's goal but reflecting many unreported acts. The speaker plans to make it a weekly celebration in 2016 with an even larger annual event, and thanks partners including the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, Wren Hollow School, and Principia School.
Hello, Rack Friday community. It's been just over a week since Rack Friday, and I just wanted to record a little video and thank everyone who took part in this year's Rack Friday 2015. We're still continuing to tally some of the posts that people are sharing, following the hashtags, checking out the different sites. At this point, I think we're over the 500 mark, which isn't quite our 2015 goal as far as what we have. But we also know that there's so many things that were done that haven't been reported, that won't be tallied. But in the great spirit of what we were trying to do for Rack Friday, we're really, really pleased and super appreciative for everyone getting involved. And so this coming year, 2016, I'm making it sort of a personal mission for myself to make sure that we're doing what we can to bring attention to Rack Friday throughout the year instead of it being a one-day of the year type of thing. When you think about it, there are 52 Rack Fridays in the year, and hopefully we can bring a little bit of attention to each Friday and celebrate Rack Friday every Friday in doing random acts of kindness, and then always having a big blow-up bash every year for the actual Black Friday Rack Friday. We've got some big, big ideas planned for 2016, which I look forward to sharing later down the line. Again, thank you to everyone. I want to thank— big thanks To the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, all the help from the wonderful people there. Thank you so much for having our backs and helping blow Wreck Friday up. As well as to Wren Hollow School in St. Louis, the Principia School. So Matt Miller at Wren Hollow, Sean Brown at the Principia School, the Massive Soccer Club for everything that they did, as well as who else am I forgetting? Oh shoot, so many people out there. Heather's Happiness Hour. So many people that have been supportive of us, and I know I'm forgetting some people. Ridley, Ridley Pearson's group, thanks so much again. But that's Rack Friday 2015. Please keep the stories coming in, and remember, every Friday is Rack Friday. Have a happy holidays, everyone. Take care. Take care.
