Dignity Health is partnering with Kids for Peace to sponsor The Great Kindness Challenge. The program helps foster a culture of kindness in elementary, middle and high schools. From January 26 to January 30, students nationwide will be challenged to complete a checklist of 50 kind deeds and to make kindness a habit.

Dignity Health employees were encouraged to get their local schools involved withThe Great Kindness Challenge. Trisha Pena, Director of Finance, Mercy Foundation, assisted in signing up her child’s school, Mather Heights Elementary, for the Great Kindness Challenge.
