All proceeds go to the charity. Kindness Matters is a campaign designed to change the way people interact with each other. It is the legacy of 13 year old Peyton A. James, who took his life after years of bullying.
In this world of technology and constant communication, it’s often difficult to escape the ridicule that seems to be everywhere. The purpose of Kindness Matters is to change the dialogue that takes place between people every day.
Making a change on a global level is a challenge and it isn't something that only needs to be done in schools or in sound-bites. It is something that everyone, both young and old, can work together to accomplish.
Kindness Matters is not just about bullying because not everyone is a “bully.” However, everyone can be a little bit kinder to others. By doing that, we can change the world.
From the Editors: They call it the “Rock Hall Wave.” It’s a little salute that residents extend to everyone they pass on the street, strangers and locals alike. “Most people visiting will think they are being mistaken for someone else because of the Rock Hall Wave,” says Kathi Donegan, who nominated Rock Hall. “Whether you’re walking or driving, everyone gives a little salute as they pass by. And before long, you’re doing it yourself.”
That spirit of togetherness seems to blanket the town like mist from the Chesapeake. When a local boy was diagnosed with cancer, almost every Rock Hall resident put red ribbons on their mailboxes—and spontaneously mailed donations to the family to help pay for his treatment. When a painter in town died of a heart attack, residents went out of their way to hire his painting company because they knew the money would go back to the family.
And then there’s the story of Benny Gerlock and his dog, Holly. Gerlock, a long-haul trucker, had Holly with him on a trip to Dallas when he collided with a concrete column and died. Holly survived, but she had no way to get home. So Rock Hall residents raised the money to send two neighbors on the 1,400-mile trip to Dallas to collect the Chesapeake Bay retriever. Now, Holly is the town’s mascot. In fact, Holly leads the Thanksgiving Day parade every year.
