Testimonials

"We at Whittier are so excited to utilize this gift that will help to spread more kindness throughout our school. Its anti-bullying message has already begun as our students enjoy this gift and use it to help each other. Often I look out the window while teaching and see many children sitting on the bench and enjoying each other's company. We are so blessed to be given this gift with the generosity of Resort 2 Kindness!"
-Jennifer Shepherd, Whittier Elementary Art Teacher, Buddy Bench Recipient

"… [to] Elva and everyone who made the donations possible for this $10,000 grant. Today was just such an amazing day! I feel like I just watched a TV show.

"R2K is WONDERFUL. You have touched and inspired my class and me to be kinder and more loving. Your words penetrated us and moved us into action. I can never thank you enough for what you did today. I will never be the same again and in 39 years of teaching, today is at the top."

Mission

Every year, R2K seeks to create opportunities for kindness champions to share acts of kindness through three main initiatives--The Little Give, The Big Give and Kindness Day. R2K also encourage kindness and inclusiveness for elementary school students through our Buddy Bench initiative. Each approaches giving in a slightly different way, but all share the goal of demonstrating the powerful contribution that giving makes in the lives of human beings.

Background Statement

R2K is a charitable, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that started in 2007. The founder, Elva Pellouchoud, was inspired to launch the nonprofit in honor of her parents, Barbara and Patrick, who have spent their lives demonstrating the power of giving to each of their 15 children. Since its inception, R2K has tracked acts of kindness in 14 countries and all 50 states.

No act of kindness, big or small goes unnoticed-and each and every one of us is affected by the outcome of generosity, love, compassion and kindness toward others. The goal of Resort 2 Kindness is to create a chain reaction of kindness throughout the world.
