Pick up your “You’ve Been Fred Roger-ed” cards at the art center starting May 19th, and join us in spreading kindness on May 19-23!
Partner with Latrobe Art Center, WQED Education, and the Fred Rogers Center, and spread kindness and creativity throughout Westmoreland County and beyond during the art center's fifth annual Week of Kindness!
From May 19-23, Latrobe Art Center is seeking to spread intentional acts of kindness throughout the community coinciding with Pennsylvania's own designated day of kindness (1-4-3 Day) inspired by the life and legacy of Fred Rogers. Using specially designed "You've Been Fred Roger-ed" cards, create a ripple effect of kindness, and share some much needed joy and hope with your loved ones and fellow community members.
Here's how it will work:
Anyone seeking to spread kindness will pick up a specially designed "You've Been Fred Roger-ed" card at any partnering location. (There’s even a card designed specifically for kids!!!)
Using that card, the person, business, or organzation will perform an act of kindness, capture the moment, and share it with us on social media with the hashtag, #YouveBeenFredRogered.
That person, business, or oganization will then leave their "You've Been Fred Roger-ed" card behind that contains instructions for the recipient of the act of kindness to perform an act of kindness of their own for someone else!
The card will continue to be passed along throughout the community and create a ripple effect of kindness!
It's that simple!
