RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

December 1, 2024

Another Random Acts of Kindness Event at Raising Cane’s was a success!

Not only was their hospitality amazing, they donated 125 meals to our cause, and they took it one step further and made their own Random Acts of Kindness cards that were hand written positive affirmations they handed out to their guests. I could not ask for a better partnership and so proud they are a part of the Scott William Hoepfner Foundation family. 

Thank you Stephanie and your Team for going above and beyond for us!

And just like that, our 5th Annual event is over.

We laughed. We cried. We made a impact on the community. 

 To all of our family and friends who took time out of their day to volunteer and to those who donated, I am forever grateful.

Joel, Amanda, Stephanie, and the Cane’s crew, I thank you for our growing partnership and the endless opportunities to make a difference.

Random Acts of Kindness Day 2022

TODAY IS THE DAY!!! What are you going to do today to make the world a better place?
On Wednesday, December 1, we would like to create a “Random Acts of Kindness Day 2021” in memory of Scott.

Scott William Hoepfner was an amazing kid: kind-hearted, athletic… funny, a good friend, unselfish… easy-going, humble, sociable, mischievous, and good-natured. He is missed in so many ways by so many people – every minute of every day.

2021 has been tough as we navigate a new normal. So it is no surprise that finding a way to promote kindness for Scott’s “angelversary” has an extra layer of challenge with the COVID restrictions still in place. To prevent having to cancel or postpone, we are going to do things a little different again this year.

Have you ever noticed that when you do something nice for someone, you feel better too? This is because being kind boosts your serotonin and endorphins – something that’s actually known as “helper’s high”. Kindness also eases anxiety – and adding a small act of kindness to your day can help you feel better.

We hope you will join us on December 1st to kindly “pay it forward”.
Look out for the opportunities. Life will provide numerous options to pay it forward… we only have to be attentive.

Everyone at some point could use a little help or boost in happiness.
Help friends and family, but also be willing to help complete strangers!

Give freely without expecting anything in return.
Many people will ask you how they can reimburse you for your kindness. You can introduce these people to the idea of paying it forward. Tell them about Scott - and that you don’t expect anything in return, but that you would greatly appreciate it if they could pay the good deed forward.

Every action, big or small, count.
It doesn’t matter so much how much you give. All that matters is that you are willing to help others (and spreading the word that you are doing so in memory of Scott).
Please post your good deeds on social media with the hashtag #RideforScott.
Photos are very much encouraged – we would love to see how many ways you can come up with to be kind in Scott’s memory.

A small act of kindness can happen Virtually anywhere!
