RAK stands for Random Acts of Kindness — simple, intentional gestures that have the power to change someone’s entire day…or their entire life.
Every year, The Whittaker Family Foundation activates one of our most beloved traditions: the TWFF RAK-a-thon, a month-long movement of generosity, compassion, and community impact. What started as a small internal initiative has grown into a signature TWFF campaign that brings families, schools, businesses, and supporters together to uplift people across every walk of life.
Throughout the month, our team commits to completing at least one meaningful act of kindness every single day — from small gestures like paying for a cup of coffee or delivering flowers, to larger efforts like funding classroom supplies, supporting families in crisis, assisting hurricane victims, and surprising everyday heroes who deserve recognition.
No act is too small. Every act matters.
And when an entire community participates, the ripple becomes unstoppable.
At TWFF, we believe kindness is a force multiplier. One act inspires another, and before long, hope spreads, neighborhoods change, and people begin to feel seen, valued, and supported.
In a world where many are overwhelmed, overlooked, or simply trying to make it through another day, your kindness becomes a lifeline.
When one act of kindness becomes hundreds, and hundreds become thousands, communities shift. Hearts heal. People feel hope again.
Join us in making this December a month of exponential goodness, generosity, and gratitude.
This is more than a campaign. It’s a movement. Our overflow initiative. And it starts with you. ❤️
