Be the Impact Day – November 2, 2022, history, significance,
Be the Impact Day is on November 2. Pat Miller, the International Executive Director of Pure International Pageants, founded this day. It is set aside for individuals to do something good in their community. You get to decide what to do and how you want to make a difference in your community.
You can volunteer, donate, or start a project to give back to the community. We all owe the world a debt of gratitude and share equal responsibility to make it a better place. This holiday is about leaving the world a much better place.
HISTORY OF BE THE IMPACT DAY
Pure International Pageants founded this day in 2020. Choosing a specific day for making an impact is an initiative that encourages everyone to make a difference in their community. By establishing a day dedicated to promoting good deeds and acts that positively influence our communities, we can motivate others to do the same in their communities all year.
This day also teaches us how to execute projects by encouraging collaboration with community and school organizations to find methods to effect positive change. The initiative brings together people worldwide to collaborate and make a difference in their communities. Million lives across the globe change as a result of the focused group effort.
All our actions and choices have an effect. Your impact on others is immeasurable; however, the recipient treasures it. Thus, there is no such thing as a small or large influence.
As part of the “Be the Impact” campaign, your project should aim to meet people’s needs. Your project could earn you consideration for the Pure International Pageant’s #BeTheImpact Awards given at the annual celebration.
Let’s work together to make a difference in the world, one good act at a time.
