I am a marketing student and long time friend of Brandon Carroll who would love the opportunity to share this wonderful organization with my school. While I am a senior, Brandon can attest to the fact that I would be a great candidate to get this program started at JMU. Provided the wristbands could be sent relatively soon, I could get the word out there, stimulate some excitement and find a positive underclassman to take over the initiative after I graduate. I am extremely sociable, easy to talk to person who is looking to dedicate my time to non-profits non only after school but also while I’m in school. I dont know exactly who many wristbands would be appropriate or what the best methods of delivering them would be but I am sure we could figure that out. Thanks!

and by who I mean how.haha

Ohio University

“#” of wristbands: I am the President of PEAR, an Ohio University organization campaigning to be the next OU Student Senate. Part of our platform is community outreach. Some see community service as burdensome which is why we are proposing that students be required to do 2 hours of community service or more per quarter. 500 wristbands would help start the trend of actively participating in events that help the community. It would also be a realistic task of passing out 500 wristbands to student organizations and fellow students to send the message of Actively Caring for People.

How: Myself and my fellow senators will use the wristbands to promote our cause while generating interest in what other universities across the nation are doing to promote community outreach. When campaigning for OU Student Senate Elections we will take the time to explain the importance of Actively Caring for People. We will also explain how we plan on localize that mission to pertain to Ohio University-promoting sustainability, promoting and requiring community service, and actively improving the Ohio University image to a community centered style of living.

Funding: PEAR pay would like to fund the wristbands and should we win the Student Senate elections, Student Senate can continue the Actively Caring for People message for years to come.

Here are my actively caring for people stories:

After school I went to my science teacher to ask what I received on the test earlier that day. While in his class I over heard I classmate say that on his way to hand in his test he saw the answer key and noticed four of his questions were wrong. Instead of sitting back at his desk and change his answers he did what he originally planned to do and hand in his test. On the spot I took off my green Actively Caring for People Bracelet and handed it to him. I explained that when he saw someone else doing something kind he should pay it forward. Without hesitation he slipped the green bracelet on his wrist and grinned ear to ear even more happily than he would if he got a grade ten points higher.

In a recent lacrosse practice while we were running our warm-up laps around the field I got the strap of my helmet stuck in the mesh fence that divided our field from the field hockey field. My feet came out from under me and I was swinging around on the fence. The whole team passed by laughing except for one teammate who came over to help me. He unhooked my helmet and I thanked him. After the practice while we were packing up I gave him a green actively caring for people bracelet and explained that when he saw someone else do something kind he should pass it on. He smiled and thanked me. Meanwhile other teammates were looking on thinking that they should have done something when the incident happened.
