How can anyone resist the power of Bogart? That is the thought for next year’s bell ringing campaign for the Salvation Army. Bogart with a bell tied around his neck in front of a store is sure to increase revenue for this needy cause.
Started in 1865 by William Booth, the Salvation Army now tends to the needs of people across the world. From the beginnings in London this organization has a presence in 122 countries, helping with ongoing causes in these countries, as well as natural disasters when they strike. The Salvation Army is one of the most respected charities in the world.
My travels allow me to meet some amazing people along the way. People who have seen a need in their community and beyond and have decided to do something for the benefit of others. From a young girl at the age of 4 to a man in Canada who is 93. Dozens of people starting charities in order to lend a helping hand. Everyone has the opportunity to help another in need, donating just a little of your time is a valuable asset to most charities. Who knows, you may discover a passion inside that can benefit people across the world.
Please help us spread our message of a Goal of Kindness to schoolchildren across the country. Your donations are crucial to making this a reality.

Bogart is my travel companion on The Kindness Bus Tour for the next ten years. We will be on the road traveling to campuses across the country. Bogart is a eight year old Boston Terrier. He is a great people dog... he loves meeting new people. I am Bogart's fourth owner in his short 8 years of life... Not because of him but because his three previous owner's lifestyles changed after they took him in... Lucky for me!! Bogart is the luckiest, most spoiled dog on the face of the earth. He loves the bus and he loves to travel. Please come and visit him when we are on your campus.
The Blue Bird Corporation donated this amazing bus to One Million Acts of Kindness, allowing us the continue this initiative. It has been painted to closely resemble the original Kindness Bus. It will last well beyond the ten years of this mission. A very big thank you to Blue Bird from Bob Votruba and Bogart too!!
The original Kindness bus has been donated to a professor at Virginia Tech who will use it on campus and at schools in the Blacksburg area. The Kindness Bus will continue to inspire and comfort residents, students and visitors in that area for years to come.
One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their life. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life? It is a constant mind-set of kindness every day of your life for the next fifty-five years. Doing for others and kindness in your heart for everyone. It is my wish that you will dedicate your life to a charity... finding the passion in your heart for something or someone in need.
As a father of three college age kids I am concerned for the world in which all kids will live. A great way to create a safer, more caring world is for everyone to start their lifetime goal of One Million Acts Of Kindness. So I bought a bus, had about sixty family members, friends and neighbors help paint it and began a ten year journey with my Boston Terrier, Bogart, to college campuses across the country hoping to convince as many of you as possible about this much needed movement for this world. I love you guys too much to sit back and not do anything about this. Let's start a kindness movement in this country today to change the direction this world is headed!! You are the change that this world needs.
Hey, I left you a note in your donation box the week of Christmas, inviting you to dinner or a tour. I bet you were eating at the Chrystal Beer Parlor. You were parked in front of my condo on Jones Street. I’m disappointed I didn’t get to meet you. You took this picture of Bogart in front of the Jingle Bell sign about my church, the UU church of Savannah. http://www.uusavannah.org/ UUs teach kindness too. We are pioneers in treating people with respect and dignity regardless of fill in the blank. The next time you come through Savannah, please give us some warning and let us show you around and feed you and introduce you to our congregation.
