The Triangle has its very own superhero:


The Blue Beacon!  


I'm on a mission: To help people. It’s always the right time to help someone, and there’s always a someone out there who needs help.

My mission objective: To volunteer and improve the community every single day for one month, making a point to highlight various non-profits and causes such as homelessness, domestic violence, terminal illness, senior citizens, and animals in shelters, then to share the incredible stories of my superheroic life and the undoubtedly superheroic volunteers I will meet along the way.

By sharing these nonprofit stories, I will draw attention to organizations and people that need people like YOU to come volunteer, too! Plus, you’ll get to read about me getting very, very tired — unless I develop real superpowers, which I’m not ruling out. Either way, it’ll be encouraging, inspirational, and amusing.

I begin my journey–my mission at Note in the Pocket, Raleigh Rescue Mission and Zach’s Toy Chest. I’ll update daily, and if I don’t have a non-profit to volunteer with that day, I’ll do a super act of kindness and post that. Stay tuned, citizens.

Be sure to follow along as I keep a running dairy of each day's adventure at the Candid Slice blog.

Help make volunteerism viral!

Since this is a Superhero for a Month Volunteer-A-Thon, I’m also going to be raising money for charity, just like in a real Walk-A-Thon.

Instead of raising money for each mile I walk, I’m raising money for each day I volunteer.

The organization I’ve chosen to send all proceeds to is Activate Good.



More than 4 out of 5 charities depend on volunteers to operate and serve the community. Funds raised help Activate Good help over 130 charities (and counting!) around the Triangle.

Here are just a few of Activate Good's goals for 2013-2014:

Connect over 3,000 volunteers to get local charities the manpower they need to serve our community.

Rally 1,500 volunteers to participate in our 9/11 Day of Service, Activate Raleigh.

Help 50+ local high school students complete our Leadership & Service class to hone their volunteer super-powers.

Any amount helps us get supplies we need for our volunteer projects and large-scale days of service.

$25 covers the cost of 1 textbook for a student in our Leadership & Service class.

$250 provides students in our Leadership & Service class with a mini-grant to carry out a service project they designed.

$400-$500 enables us to provide volunteer connection and matching services to a nonprofit partner for a year.

And even better: This spring, the AJ Fletcher Foundation will match your donation to Activate Good.  For every dollar you donate, Activate Good will get two!

Activate Good is a 501c3 tax-exempt nonprofit. We are a Volunteer Center that activates volunteers to help causes in our local community. We connect individuals, groups, and companies to volunteer needs with partnering nonprofits around Raleigh and the Greater Triangle, and empower the next generation of young volunteers and community leaders through our Activate Schools initiative.
