Live Nice

rt asking, "What does Grandad always say?" "Be Nice," I would reply. "To who?" "Everyone!" "When?" "Always!"

This continued often and finally, one day, I said, "Dad, how about I just LIVE nice?" And, from then on I've tried to do that! Now, I want to share the message with my community, so I designed these t-shirts and hats and all the money I raise goes to positive youth programs and anti-bullying organizations. From the sale of shirts at my neighborhood yard sale, community festivals and through friends and family, I've already been able to: donate $400 to Teach Anti-Bullying, $600 to Philly Girls in Motion, $125 to help Hanna Maier, a Prospect Park middle-school student, put friendship benches in her district's elementary schools, $75 towards Mollyanne Brophy's Mercy Project to provide Blessing Bags for homeless men and women in Philadelphia/Upper Darby, sponsor two local kids to attend a Betterball Camp last summer, and donate gift cards and t-shirts to raise the spirits of bullying victims in our area. In January, Live Nice will sponsor two Kindness/Anti-Bullying assemblies by Quiet Riot for students at Chestnutwold Elementary School.
