"You Matter" Chalk Challenge

We are seeking Ambassadors who will create sidewalk art (or any art) that utilizes the phrase “You Matter” and be willing to post a short video on our website/Facebook and/or Instagram. We want  to spread a message of hope and resilience throughout the community and nominate other people to do the same. Showcasing sidewalk chalk art (or any medium of choice), participants can call out friends, family or businesses and let them know they matter. This campaign of “passing it on” or “paying it forward” can also incorporate financial challenges and/or donations to the Suicide Prevention Program. Businesses will have the ability to showcase their staff, product and mission via social media, all while telling the community that they matter. What we really want is for people to find a way to share kindness and encourage a spirit of paying it forward. We would love to see Bemidji filled with the message “You Matter” in effort to show community resilience in difficult times.
