The Project

First of all, what the heck does RAK even mean? Isn't that a little inappropriate? NO! In fact, RAK's are appropriate now more than ever before. That's Random Acts of Kindness, of course.

So here's the deal. A company has provided its employees with $10 Target gift cards to inspire random acts of kindness in the community. We decided to take it a little further. Trak the Rak is about seeing how far we can stretch our individual dollars to create a greater impact, while still reaching individuals in a random way.

How do you plan to do it, you ask? After an in depth brainstorming session, a group of 13 14 of us decided that there's clearly strength in numbers and $130 $140 can do a lot more to make a difference than $10 individually, -but beyond that, what if we could take our $130 $140 and grow it into far more?!

Now we're talking! So what's the plan? We have decided to pool our gift cards and purchase baking supplies at Target. Our goal is to bake 500 brownies and randomly sell them, for as much as people are willing to pay, recognizing that the funds will support a person in need.
But wait! There's more! Prior to delivering our monetary gift, we will pull out the initial investment of $10 each so that each team member has the opportunity to provide an individual RAK. -That could mean buying a homeless person a meal, paying for someone's coffee, the possibilities are endless!

You are welcome to follow us along as we track our progress, explain the cause chosen and outline our individual RAK's.
