Join us for the 5th Annual
Weekend of Kindness!
October 22-23, 2022
Each year the Charlotte's Purpose crew hosts a Weekend of Kindness in honor of Charlotte’s birthday. Acts of kindness are organized by us, friends, family members, and sometimes even strangers! Projects can occur on the weekend itself, or be completed by then so we can celebrate the good this weekend puts into the world together.
This Year's BIG PROJECT is a Native Maryland Trees Trail & Park Bench installation!
This year Charlotte would have started kindergarten, so we knew we had to do something extra special for her school! We decided to plant 10-12 native Maryland trees to create a tree trail. The tree trail will include plaques next to each of the native trees describing what makes it unique. We will also place a memorial park bench along the trail. The park bench will include Charlotte's name and a brief description of the unique way she has been a catalyst for kindness through Charlotte's Purpose. The tree trail and bench will be placed at the Montessori school that Charlotte would have attended so hundreds of children can learn from and enjoy them! If you would like to support the Native Maryland Trees Trail & Park Bench project, consider purchasing a tee from our fundraiser. Like the project, the tees are extra special this year! The adorable school themed tee includes a "class list" of babies who were stillborn like Charlotte so we can remember them together. This year's run will likely be the LAST tee fundraiser that the Charlotte's Purpose team will host, so make sure you get your Weekend of Kindness tee while you can!

Want to Host Your Own Kindness Project this year?
If you would like to host your own act of kindness in honor of Charlotte or a little one you would like to remember during the 2022 Weekend of Kindness, please let us know what you plan to do via email (charlottespurpose@gmail.com), twitter (@charliespurpose) or contacting us through our Facebook page ("Charlotte's Purpose"). No act of kindness is too small to be a part of Charlotte’s celebration and there are no limits on the types of kindness you can do. Need some ideas? Projects from past years (that do not yet have 2022 leaders) include:
📌Paying for a stranger’s birthday cake at a local bakery in honor of Charlotte
📌Donating to local food pantries or drives assisting those who are food insecure
📌Creating care packages for medical staff, firefighters, and other community helpers
📌Cleaning up a public park
📌Fill a sidewalk or street with uplifting chalk messages
📌Donate blood or sign up to become an organ donor
