Maria, Jessica, and Samantha met in Washington DC for the first time in May of 2019 where they were all honored with awards for their work within the military community. Shortly after meeting, they forged a close bond and shared passion for service. They wanted to create something special that would unite all the branches of service in a collective effort to serve with purpose and in kindness. Through this, the #GivingTuesdayMilitary movement was born.
Thanks to the incredible partnership of the Kelly Clarkson Show and the Today Show, they were able to spread the mission of kindness even further in 2019!

2019 GivingTuesday Impact Report
For its inaugural launch in 2019 -- the campaign reached 2.5 million people! The social impact of the day was absolutely incredible. When it was over, they knew they weren't done yet. Stacy Bilodeau joined the kindness party leadership team and the foursome launched the nonprofit, Inspire Up, in 2020 -- which powers the GivingTuesdayMilitary campaign.
Together, they are all committed to ensuring that the campaign will continue grow stronger every year. Their motto "Giving Always", was intentional. Although they want to see the world stepping up on GivingTuesday each year, it is their hope that people will recognize the value of implementing kindness, every single day.
The world is full of kind people.
