A Day to Remember: We honored the memory of those individuals with CHARGE who passed away with A Day to Remember. On September 21, which is also the International Day of Peace, we asked everyone to perform an act of kindness and share it with us on social media using #adaytoremember. We loved seeing your photos of joy and kindness on the Foundation’s Facebook page.
The goal was to spread as much kindness as possible that week. It could be something as simple as sending an encouraging e-mail, making a donation, or spending time with loved ones. These kind acts showed our solidarity as a CHARGE community and signified to the families who have lost their loved ones that we will ALWAYS REMEMBER. Visit our A Day to Remember page.
