Proclamation
Spread Goodness Day
March 14, 2025
WHEREAS, the idea of Spread Goodness Day was first created in 2017 to inspire a global
day of simple goodness by encouraging individuals, schools, and organizations to show the
explosive power that one act of goodness multiplied by hundreds, thousands, and maybe
millions has to change the world every single day;
WHEREAS, in 2017 the launch was created as a global goodness day initiative,
headquartered in Marquette, Michigan; and,
WHEREAS, people of across the nation rose up to create impactful Spread Goodness Day
events and initiatives:
• A day that individuals, businesses, and schools committed to doing good things,
celebrating goodness explosively together; and,
• A day that proves that one action can change the world; and,
WHEREAS, public schools, from elementary to universities, participate in unique Spread
Goodness Day events throughout their communities:
• To create an explosive atmosphere of empowerment worldwide that the simplest
acts of goodness change the world every day; and,
• To spread goodness, sunshine, change the world together and,
• To engage schools and student organizations worldwide; and,
• To support grassroots non -profits that help people "survive with goodness" through
sponsoring their fundraising events; and,
WHEREAS, communities across the state, and beyond, have kept the initiative alive
through the contagion of goodness sparked in Michigan and spread throughout the world;
and,
WHEREAS, on the second Friday of March, we should honor the power and simplicity of
goodness to change the world and positively impact our community.
