I foster dogs that are in high kill shelters in the Mid-West, and have no other place to go

Why are you participating?

To show people that you can NEVER judge a book by its cover. I want to show my two daughters that they can be proud of who they are, no matter what others say or how they may be judged. Hopefully, when they are older, they won't be discouraged by being different and independent.

When I went to China for vacation over the Summer, I gave money and a smile to just about every homeless person I saw.

Why are you participating?

I think that this project is important in a world where competitiveness and seeking to individually get ahead is the mark of a successful person.

I volunteer my time to help out organizations I believe in (like the No Evil Project). I also never show up at parties empty-handed.

Why are you participating?

Our society has become so polarizing. Everyone is afraid to talk about our differences because we are conditioned to believe that they are what defines us. In truth, when we begin to talk honestly about our perspective, we often see that our similarities are greater than our differences.

I knit sweaters and mail them to a charity group that sends them out needy children around the world and within the states for children who are cold --- I average approximately 36 sweaters a year.

Why are you participating?

When my picture was taken I was unaware of the purpose -- I am pleased to now be part of this endeavor.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

My biggest "good deed" of my life was being with my AIDS buddy when he died. But that was a long time ago. It is so easy to get stuck in the daily routines -- work, exercise, taking care of the house, etc. etc. and to get out of the habit of doing "good deeds." Now I like to donate my art to organizations to raise money for their causes.

Why are you participating?

When I was little I had one of those See no Evil figurines. I loved it. I tried collecting them several years ago, but only found two. So now I am my own See no evil. Thanks, Troy!

I try to be supportive of the people in my life and make sure they know how much they are loved! I've given many hours of my life as a volunteer and as a staff member of a few non-profits. Currently, I help fundraise for a school and a good portion of what we raise goes towards financial aid.

Why are you participating?

It's empowering to see what people have to say about themselves.

I try to good deeds every day - letting a car go out in front of mine, holding the door for people, etc.

Why are you participating?

So often we focus on the things we don't like about others or the world in general. I like how this project highlights the good in people.
