Where Eagles Dare

Philadelphia Eagles Announce New Program Encouraging Kindness Toward Animals

After signing convicted dog fighter Michael Vick and receiving media scrutiny, the Philadelphia Eagles football franchise has decided to donate to animal welfare groups. And guess who their spokesman is?

The program which is known as TAWK (Treating Animals With Kindness) was unveiled on Monday and aims to reduce animal abuse, end dogfighting, and encourage spaying and neutering pets.

The Eagles awarded grants of $50,000 each to Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, the Humane Society of Berks County and the Humane Society of the United States.

Vick, who served 18 months in prison for dog fighting is currently working with children to discourage dogfighting.

This act of philanthropy makes one wonder if the Philadelphia Eagles are simply trying to get the media off of their back, or if the football franchise are actually concerned with protecting the rights of animals. I suppose their intentions aren’t really the issue, but the help that the societies are receiving. Perhaps Vick has genuinely learned the error of his ways and hopes to create a positive impact for younger generations, or perhaps this is part of his probation.

Either way, this is one of the first stunts of this kind as far as the National Football League goes, and the donations have been quite generous. This could be a large step for the Philadelphia area animal shelters, and could perhaps spread its way across the country as more teams offer similar programs.

Rachel’s Challenge Dedicated to Kindness and Love

Since I found out about Rachael’s Challenge, stories of the program catching on across the world have been surfacing daily. Created in response to the 1999 shooting sat Columbine High School. Rachael Scott, who was the first victim of the Columbine shooting had a reputation for kindness and an essay to prove her commitment to kindness and togetherness.

After her death, members of her family have dedicated their time to carrying on the message of kindness as well as Rachel’s memory. Rachel’s Challenge is more than a suggestion to love one another, but a challenge presented to live together in harmony and reduce school violence.Teachers, students, and other advocates of a safer learning environment seem to have bought into the idea on a large scale.

Within the last week alone, more than nine schools have made the news by embracing Rachael’s Challenge. Quickly becoming the largest conduit for reducing bullying and high school violence, the program has been presented at over 30 schools this month in states from Colorado and all across the United States. Stories of schools holding presentations of Rachael’s Story are popping up daily all over the country. It appears as though the idea of an individual has sparked a wave of kindness and education across the academic stratosphere.

It’s wonderful to see the program gaining popularity in such great magnitude and continuing to positively influence schools across the country. Anyone who is interested in finding out more information about Rachael’s Challenge can visit the website at http://www.rachelschallenge.org/

Join the millions of students, teachers, and other individuals who have accepted the challenge of making our schools safer places to learn and develop.
