Helptoberfest
A few years ago I was having a
crappy day when I received an email that lifted my spirits. Someone that
I know took a minute of their time to do something that probably would seem
small and trivial to most, but could result in a positive outcome. It got me
thinking about an article that an old high school friend had wrote; “Stand Up
For Something, Staying Good At Life”. The major part of the article is
“Assistance comes in many forms. Volunteer in your
community. Help by giving someone a good referral. Put in a good word for
someone. Hold open a door for someone. Make a donation. Be active in your
community. Smile at someone.”
So I came up with this idea, Helptoberfest, and for
the month of October I posted about different charities, events and
inspirational quotes. Last year I expanded upon this idea. For the month of
October I will donate 15% of sales to charities and organizations that are
environmentally and/or outdoor focused. I’ll donate to four different groups,
one will be highlighted for a seven day period. If you are involved with or
know of one that you would like to see featured let me know. Aina is a very
small business, it won’t be a lot of coin, but every bit helps.
