Kindness is Contagious for #LeapOfKindnessDay
Monday, Feb. 29, 2016
On monday, Feb. 29, 2016, organizations and individuals throughout Saratoga County will mobilize for #LeapofKindnessDay, a campaign started by the Chamber of Commerce urging us all to spend a few of this month’s 1,440 extra minutes on acts of kindness.
The number of businesses joining the movement is inspiring, and Roohan Realty is proud to be one of them. In honor of Leap of Kindness Day, we’ll be donating to:
- the Wesley Community
- the Franklin Community Center
- Operation Adopt A Soldier
Friends and neighbors who wish to help support these amazing organizations can bring donation items to our office (details below), or contact us for more info. Whether it’s holding a door, helping a cause, or making someone smile, no gesture is too small. Get more ideas here.
