9/9 – I Care Day
What would the world look like in one day if every person reached out to make a difference in the life of one person every hour? B.I.O.N.I.C. wants to know! On our “9/9 – I Care Day” on September 9, 2019 we want to encourage every one to reach out to 9 people – one person each hour in 9 hours. What a great way to say “Believe It Or Not I Care” to your school, business, church, or community!
Here are some ways to reach out:
- Say “hi” to a stranger
- Thank your parents for making your meals, washing your clothes, letting you use the car, etc.
- Thank a teacher for grading your papers
- Call your Grandma and tell her you love her
- Open the door for someone
- Let someone else go first in line
- Visit the elderly at a senior living center
- Pay for someone’s coffee
- Bring a goodie basket to hospital workers or postal workers
- Bring cookies to a Police or Fire station
- Buy flowers for a secretary
B.I.O.N.I.C. is an organization making a positive difference through B.I.O.N.I.C. Teams in schools, businesses, churches, and communities. If you are thinking about starting a B.I.O.N.I.C. Team, 9/9 – I Care Day is a great way to see what happens when people actively show how much they care about each other. B.I.O.N.I.C. started after suicides of four teens who went through difficult times and needed to know people cared. On September 9th we hope no one will feel left out or that they don’t matter.
