Some more feedback from people who have already signed up about why they are excited about #FreeHugs Day!
Well, this is exciting! We have already gotten 1,298 pledged hugs for November 7th!
We ask everyone who signs up to tell us why they are excited to participate, and we got some lovely responses:
“I have organized and participated in this event for the past two years. What can i say, free hugs are awesome! They seriously make your day!” David from Weber State U, Emerging Leader Mentor
“Hugs are a positive outreach to others. We are delighted to be a part of a collective endeavor that spreads unity and hope to our campus.” Melissa from Middle Georgia State College, Assistant Director of Student Life
“The power of a hug is underestimated! It’s a simple gesture to let people know you care and can impact their day more than you know.” Desirae from FSU, PeaceJam Southeast
“I was so excited hearing about Free Hug day during the Quest program at my school. There’s no better way to make someone’s day.” Madison, U of Delaware, BHLP
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. You guys rock!
