The Goodest Story. Ever., win a $1000 shopping spree, natural talent


Social media designed to raise holiday cheer and internet karma

 

For thousands of Canadians, this past year's holiday season just didn't feel the same. Everything from cancelled Christmas parties to threatened job security created an overall sense of Canadian families holding their collective breath, waiting to see what would happen - instead of indulging in the spirit of the season. Darius Bashar, President and Co-Founder of the innovative social networking website, Daily Challenge (dailychallenge.org), says that's why they announced The Goodest Story. Ever. Contest. In honour of a new year and some good old fashioned holiday cheer, this post-holiday contest gives every day 'do gooders' a great reason to look into their lives, share their experiences and inspire others to do the same. The desired result is a community united, a lot more reasons to be thankful for life, friends and family, and of course, many more members in Daily Challenge.

 

Daily Challenge was created from the belief that many people doing small random acts of kindness on a daily basis can positively impact our communities and eventually the world. "When you focus on something long enough it eventually becomes your reality," states Afshin Mousavian, Co-Founder and CEO of Daily Challenge. "What we are looking to accomplish with our holiday contest is to redirect the collective focus to a state of joy and appreciation, rather than uncertainty and despair." So every day members post, accept, and pass forward challenges that help make the world a better place - significantly increasing the karma factor on the Daily Challenge end of the internet.

 

The Goodest Story. Ever. Contest Visit Daily Challenge

 

Leading by example, the Daily Challenge website is raising awareness and money for Nikibasika: The Kasese Children Learning & Development Project in Uganda. Nikibasika works with 52 children in Kasese who are from families that have been severely affected by HIV AIDS or civil wars. 100% of all proceeds raised by corporate donations will go to the children of Nikibasika. It's an effort that staff at The Ring hope couples and wedding professionals will support. Nikibasika means "it is possible" in the Western Ugandan language of Runyankole.


To do list:

Donate to the Nikibasika Children's Center (100% goes to the kids!)
Read The Nikibasika Story
Watch the Nikibasika video (so sweet!)

Pass this email on to people who will support this cause
