March Goodness!
We challenged college campuses across North America to get in the game of Competitive Kindness®.
March Goodness was a social impact campaign collaboration between Kentucky Wildcat NCAA and Miami Heat NBA champ Derek Anderson and Xocial.
OVERVIEW…………………….
Activating students across North America, this is an example of a social good initiative branded around an international theme with an influencer and foundation beneficiary. In this case, March Madness, Derek Anderson and his Stamina (AOK) Foundation.
A gamified social impact campaign

Student Testimonials
"March Goodness is so important because this is a program designed to help make communities a better place. It gets the college students active... and really what this means to me is that I get an opportunity to wake up everyday changing somebody's life.
That's what I'm all about.
If what I'm doing is not effecting somebody's life for the greater good, then I don't participate in it."
" In the face of 'Me Too', 'Never Again', 'Time's Up', I think March Goodness is super important to our society today.
I think a little kindness and compassion can go a long way in the society that we are living in right now, and I think it's really important that people understand it's not hard to do a good thing... it's really easy and it makes you feel great..."
