BLACK HISTORY MONTH

RAKE (RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS) DAY

Dare To Live Right partnered with Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere (R.A.K.E.), one of our favorite nonprofit organizations, formed by Cleveland native and comedian Ricky Smith, to perform a random act of kindness throughout the day. DTLR and Ricky Smith traveled around Cleveland to different organizations and communities to perform a random act of kindness, including donating $500 to a deserving unsung hero, dropping off donations to animal shelters, the Ronald McDonald House, and Children’s Hospital.

Rickey made our DTLR location a special stop, when he identified a single mother experiencing hard times, and gifted her a shopping spree at Target for essential items and our Steelyard location for fits for her and her children.

This donation serves as the kickoff to a new initiative DTLR Community Outreach is launching – the Community Champion Tour – that highlights different local individuals or organizations that make an impact in their communities. Every month, Dare To Live Right will choose a Community Champion in cities they serve and partner with them for a community service event or project, tag along for a day in the life of, and make a large donation to the organizations mission. This month marked the launch of the very first Community Champion – Ricky Smith, founder of Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere (R.A.K.E.).
