UPlift Someone

What Is UPlift Someone Day?

National UPlift Someone Day is a day to spread joy and appreciation. Acts of kindness such as a simple thank you or recognizing those who have made a positive impact can go a long way in making others feel connected and valued. When we see an uplifting act or are lucky enough to be the recipient, it energizes us to pay it forward.

On October 30th, UP Entertainment is setting a goal to uplift at least one person that day. We hope you will be inspired on UPlift Someone Day and beyond, to bring a bit of joy to others. Let’s get started!

Gift From A Stranger – a surprise in the check out line

Giving to others can really can begin a chain effect. Earlier this year, I was shopping with my daughter and a woman in front of us at the check out line handed me a $30 gift card. I was totally surprised and she said she just wanted to pay it forward. We decided that we would do the same so while shopping the next weekend, my daughter excitedly picked out a gift card and we gave it to a woman in line in front of us. It made her day and made us feel good. Hopefully she kept it going!:)

A classic.

“In your life expect some trouble. But when you worry, you make it double. But don’t worry, be happy, be happy now.”
