Learn more about March For Kindness.
MRP’s March Madness Challenge helps us promote our March for Kindness initiative, which encourages kindness toward others and to recognize good deeds in the Lincoln community. Every March Mystic Rhoads Productions recognizes a group or individual who has shown exceptional kindness toward the Lincoln community. A $500 charitable contribution is given to the organization or to a charity of the individual’s choice. In addition, the Hulda Roper Citizenship Award is given annually to a Roper Elementary School student who shows a commitment to kindness and good deeds in the Lincoln Community. The student is chosen by school staff.
