Starbucks Spreading Holiday Cheer
Step 1: Understand Cheer
What is cheer? It’s a random stranger holding the door open for you because you have a bunch of packages. It’s taking your kids out because you know your partner needs a rest. It’s covering for a coworker when they’re sick. It’s giving up your last piece of gum.
It’s random. It’s selfless. It makes you feel good - whether you’re giving it or receiving it.
Step 2: Give a Cheer Pass
Each time an act of kindness takes place, the Cheer Giver gives the Cheer Receiver a Cheer Pass that encourages them to pass cheer onto another person.
Step 3: Share Your Story
To keep the kindness going, share your inspirational story with other potential Cheer Givers.
Step 4: See It Spread
The best part about the Cheer Pass is that you can watch the journey of kindness from town to town. View it now.
Step 5: Tell a Friend
The easiest way to catch some kindness and pass it on is to get your friends involved. Tell your friends. Tell your neighbors. Tell your family. You’re just a few degrees away from spreading cheer!
Pass# 600053
I was waiting by a bus stop when a stranger pulled up and handed me this ticket and twenty dollars. He said that if I were to accept the gift, I would have to do two things, pass on the cheer pass and try to give more to someone else.
Being on a fixed-income I told him that I couldn’t afford to accept those terms, and consequentially, I could not accept the gift either.
He said, “material gifts are nothing in comparison to gifts of service and love.” So, I accepted the gift and I plan on giving more to someone tomorrow. I know there are several physically handicapped people in my area and I might can rake their leaves. We’ll see…..but know this, I won’t let it end with me.
