Recognizing the quiet ones who keep our community going.
This campaign was inspired by someone’s mom.She gave constantly to the people around her, quietly and without keeping score. She probably brushed off every thank you she received like what she did was no big deal.After she passed, people came forward with stories. Things she had done that even her own family never knew about. The full picture of who she was only became clear once she was gone. We never really made her stop for a minute so she could hear it — that we saw her, and everything she did for the people around her.We don’t want that to be anyone else’s story.
You know someone like her.Maybe it’s your mom, your dad, a friend, a coworker, a sibling. Maybe it’s the person who volunteers every weekend without posting about it, who shows up for everyone around them without ever asking for anything back. The one who puts other people’s needs above their own so consistently you’ve almost stopped noticing.If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably thought “thank you doesn’t feel like enough.” And when you do say it, they brush it off anyway.They’re not doing it for the recognition. But that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve it.
That’s why we built this.Nominate someone who deserves to feel seen. We’ll be selecting three people who will each win a free month at Midtown Yoga and Pilates — a small way of saying, let someone fill your cup for once.Nominations open June 9th and close June 25th. Winners announced June 30th.But here’s what we really want you to know: every single person who gets nominated is a winner. Someone cared enough about what you do that they took the time to tell strangers about you. That’s not nothing. That’s everything.You’re seen.
