![]() When the first airplane took flight over a century ago, it was historic proof that big ideas really can become reality. The Wright brothers had a vision, and their creative persistence ultimately led to a flying machine that would change the world. What started as just an idea in someone’s mind, turned into action, improvement, and grew momentum
until it took flight. What great ideas do you have? Not every idea is going to be “an airplane”, but each of us has thoughts that can positively impact our community. Something as simple as a kind thought can spark a generous idea that takes flight and helps fill the needs of the people around us. Our 32 partner programs are each an example of Kindness Taking Flight. Generous donations from people like you are the momentum needed to keep these amazing programs up and supporting our friends and neighbors here in Becker County. Let’s help them soar. A challenge moving forward: The Wright brothers had a thought that changed the world. From now on, every time you see an airplane flying overhead, I challenge you to think a kind thought and allow kindness to take flight. United Way of Becker County
