Spread Kindness with the Delight-Ful Challenge

Spreading Kindness is Delight-Ful

On February 17, we’ll be performing random acts of kindness at 300 colleges and universities with DelightFul. Smile and say Hello

On February 17 we are proud to host the Delight-Ful challenge. This challenge is designed to celebrate, encourage, and carry out random acts of kindness throughout the country. Taking place on National Random Acts of Kindness Day, our Delight-Ful goal is to fulfill 500,000 Acts of Kindness.

The third signature event in our Joy-Ful series, Delight-Ful is aimed at welcoming students back to campus for the spring semester in a memorable way and spreading joy throughout the year. Hosted virtually by Celebrity Chef Jet Tila of the Food Network, the event will include a variety of activities for students to participate in with suggestions of ways to spread kindness. This will include a Surprise and Delight-Ful themed meal of TikTok trends and a pop-up menu.

DELIGHT•FUL

The Delight-Ful challenge will take place simultaneously across all 300 Chartwells campuses, encouraging associates, students and staff to collectively perform 500,000 random acts of kindness nationwide. Whether it’s pay it forward cards for use in dining halls, surprise pop up coffee bars, or student compliment blitzes, our goal is to spread memorable moments of joy on campuses and in their local communities. As part of the Delight-Ful challenge, Chartwells is continuing its partnership with celebrity Chef Jet Tila to help prompt student involvement and action throughout the day. Chef Jet will serve as a virtual emcee, calling on those at campuses across the country to do their own random acts of kindness. Each campus will also have surprise menus and pop-up options, kindness giveaways, and several activities designed to encourage guests to pay it forward and carry out their own acts of kindness.

Delight-Ful is another example of how Chartwells is bringing students across the nation together in memorable ways, through Joy-Ful.
