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 make others feel connected and valued. When we see an uplifting act — or are the recipient of one — it energizes us to pay it forward.

UP Entertainment celebrates its mission to UPlift Someone on October 30th through a variety of activities. We hope you’ll feel UPlifted and inspired to share joy with others.

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!:)

Believe in the power of kindness, embrace your uniqueness, and never underestimate the impact of small, positive actions. You are capable of amazing things, and the world needs your light. Keep moving forward with hope in your heart and a smile on your face. Together, we can create a brighter, better tomorrow!

Cheryl Miller, kind and giving

in spite of her own personal challenges, her husband fighting cancer, the recent loss of her Mother, Cheryl has continued to be considerate and kind, making sure I could go to the doctor and ALWAYS showing concern for others especially The Worcester County Humane Socierty. Thank you for being the greatest friend I’ve ever known.

Coney makes you smile

My dachshund mix, Coney Hot Dog, goes to a hospital twice a month. And he visits a senior assisted living once a month. This month, he will be going as "Dr Coney", giving his version of medicine to all. But mostly he brings smiles and giggles as he walks by, stopping to visit.
I have been doing this for 30 years, Coney is dog #6 for me. We both love lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and creating good feelings. Wave and say "hi" if you see him!
