BE KIND Sign Designs & KindNotes - Students in grades 3 and up, including college students, submit a sign design and/or KindNotes for consideration prior to the stroll. Designers of chosen designs are invited to paint a sign to display in Downtown Westminster merchant locations during the Kindness Stroll. KindNotes are chosen at random to be displayed as well.
Voting To Donate - Anyone old enough to use a valid online payment method may participate in voting for the sign(s) of their choice through this website. Each vote costs $1 and there is a minimum $5 donation to start voting. Vote donations support the nonprofit Action For Kindness. Voting begins at 12:00:00 AM (Eastern Time) on Thursday, August 21, 2025 and ends at 12:00:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Sunday, September 28, 2025.
Winners - This is a fundraiser that benefits nonprofit outreach in the local community. So no matter how many votes are cast as donations, it all stays local to support the community and everyone wins! With that said, if you really want to cheer on and support a specific student artist so they raise as much as possible during this fundraiser, go for it! The top vote-getters may have their sign design turned into a 3 ft by 5 ft flag to fly on Main Street for next year's stroll.
