Description
Compassionate Atlanta invites you to join us in celebrating the Atlanta Compassion Games at the official Opening Ceremony! Expect a truly exciting multi-cultural event, embracing the essence of the Charter For Compassion as we announce the start of this year's Compassion Games!
ABOUT THE COMPASSION GAMES
The Compassion Games are designed to make our communities safer, kinder, more just, and better places to live. No matter where you are, you can (a) perform a Random Act of Kindness or (b) become a Secret Agent of Compassion and receive a secret mission for each of the eleven days [September 11 - 21] or (c) offer your services to a Metropolitan Atlanta organization that is already involved in compassionate action.
* CULTURE * MUSIC * COMMUNITY * EDUCATION * COMPASSION *
GAME ON!
There will be opportunities to sign up for the games in one or more catagories. Invite your friends to the opening ceremony and start the journey together!
~ Refreshments will be served ~
