March 23rd: Unsung Heroes

Project 351's heartbeat are the 3,753 unsung heroes and quiet leaders selected by their communities as Ambassadors since 2011.

We have a very special place in our hearts for unsung heroes, so with joy, dedicate today's #351GratitudeMoment to these very special people -- humble, selfless, and extraordinary without realization. Those who lift up, stand up, step up, and never give up. From every background, geography, age, and culture. In every corner of our state.

The last few weeks have been a master class of their grace and goodness. We've been moved and strengthened by the seemingly endless ways these heroes among us -- in hospital emergency rooms, fire stations, grocery stores, virtual classrooms, State Houses and city halls, neighborhoods and city blocks -- lift others with a ray of kindness, a word of wisdom, an act of generosity. Their example compels our greater humanity and reminds us that we each have a role in hope and healing.

Our daily #351GratitudeMoments have been and will continue to be dedicated to unsung heroes. Today, we've asked our Ambassadors and Alumni to dedicate this afternoon to extending appreciation to the unsung hero in their lives...or from their hometowns. An email, post, or written expression of their admiration and thanks.

We invite you to join us, too! And, help build a movement of gratitude, compassion, and kindness that will surely help illuminate the way in the days and weeks ahead.
