“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing’s going to get better, it’s not.”
–Dr. Seuss
What a Marathon!
Believe it or not, we had over 10,700 participants who signed up for the 2022 You Matter Marathon! Even during this unprecedented demand for You Matter cards, we knew we had to rise to the occasion to get all of the You Matter cards out for you.
And boy did you share You Matter cards!
As a result, a whole lot of You Matter magic has been unleashed in the world. And the ripples of your generosity, courage and kindness will live on in the hearts of those you have touched, most especially mine.
Our 2022 Community
The YMM now has 10,717 total participants. And we have 275 Ambassador organizations from all 50 states, and 99 countries. We are still adding the total # of cards shared but a conservative estimate is over 425,000.
Let’s Keep the Magic Going!
