We can't seem to pin down the origin of this day, but there is a favorite Nice non-profit dedicated to this cause, and most probably the group responsible for it all. The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is located in Denver and offers users free kindness websites, cool downloadable graphics and kindness curriculum for educators. They do not charge a fee and they surprisingly do not accept donations. In case you were wondering, they claim not to have a religious affiliation either.

This group was created in 1995 and is the U.S. delegate to the World Kindness Movement, first organized in 1996.

We can't argue with a movement dedicated to helping to make the world a nicer place to live. So, on this day (by-the-way, it's also Random Acts of Kindness Week), go out and do something nice for someone...just to do it.
