ABOUT US
Shari Arison, a businesswoman and philanthropist, founded Good Deeds Day in 2007, which was launched and organized by Ruach Tova (NGO), a branch of the Ted Arison Family Foundation, the Arison Group's philanthropic arm. Mrs. Arison says, "I believe that if people will think good, speak good, and do good, the circles of goodness will grow in the world."
"Good Deeds Day has become the leading day of giving, and this year individuals, school children, students, soldiers, and employees from many businesses are joining in for the annual Good Deeds Day with the aim of doing a good deed for others."
