March 2015                                                    because I said I would.

 

“You can pretend to care, but you can’t pretend to show up.” 
 
– George Bell
 

Dear Supporter,, 

My team and I are working on a number of initiatives that we hope will make a positive impact on humanity. We want to build structured programs with schools, addiction treatment centers and other nonprofits to help keep people committed to good. We are building a plan to start because I said I would chapters around the world that will make unified promises for good. We are even contemplating publishing a because I said I would book where all the proceeds would benefit the nonprofit.

As our efforts continue, I want to thank everyone for all the love you have shown the movement. Without your promises, your contributions and support, we are nothing. See three incredible promises stories and other announcements below and never forget the importance of a promise.

Sincerely,

Alex Sheen

Founder of because I said I would.

1.) Claire was shaken as a baby. 

Claire's promise video

Claire was shaken by a baby sitter when she was 11 months old. Claire’s parents made a promise to each other in the emergency room on the night she was injured.
In this journey of determination and perseverance, hear the story of a promise made and kept. See the promise card that Claire has written herself.

 

2.) The leaders of tomorrow…

See promise cards from young leaders

On March 21st, Alex Sheen, Founder of because I said I would, spoke to 3,600 high school and middle school students at a Future Business Leaders of America conference in Florida. Alex reminded the students that life isn’t just about money and financial success. A true leader honors their commitments and uses their strength to help others in need.

The students were encouraged to write promise cards at the end of the session and the results were amazing. We have compiled a photo album of some of the promises that were written.

3.) “This bad radio station…in my head…”

He writes something on his hand every day...

Bob’s friend passed away of a heart attack recently. Events like these make us reflect on our own decisions and our own lives. 
Are we really living life like we should? Bob’s answer was no. He had a “bad radio station” playing in his head, so he started writing a reminder on his hand every day…
