Back to our roots and hosting a gratitude contest

When RecognizeGood first launched as a gratitude platform in 2009, the whole idea was to inspire others by simply saying thanks publicly to someone who made a difference in your life. On World Gratitude Day 12 years later, we’re back to our roots and proud to announce winners of a gratitude contest we put on through a fun partnership with Junior Achievement of Central Texas and 6th-8th grade students at Kealing Middle School! With over 100 gratitude notes received, it was a tough choice to find our favorite – so we chose 5. Each winning student will receive $50 to donate to the charity of their choice through our friends at inLieu. Take a look at the winning notes below, and stay tuned for more gratitude contests coming soon!
