500 Cities to Make Extra Mile Day Declaration

500 Cities to Make Extra Mile Day
Declaration
November 1st Promotes Life-Changing Message.
Los Angeles, CA, September 23, 2015 -- On November 1, over 500 U.S. mayors will
declare Extra Mile Day and recognize extra mile people and organizations in their
communities who are creating positive change through their extraordinary efforts in
volunteerism and service. Extra Mile Day is a growing movement that promotes a lifechanging
message: go the extra mile and create the positive change you desire.
Started in 2009 by motivational author and change creator Shawn Anderson, Extra Mile
Day originated with 23 participating cities. In 2015, it is expected 550 cities will make
the symbolic declaration. Mayor Chuck Charles of Ashland,
Kentucky, is one of the declaring mayors. “Going the extra
mile is a key component that helps to drive a city to success.
It’s that extra effort when others say it can’t be done.”
For Mayor Gina Noble of Stillwater, Oklahoma, the Extra
Mile Day message carries special meaning. “Going the extra
mile, for me, is opening your heart to show someone you care
by giving your time without expectation of receiving anything
in return other than the satisfaction of helping brighten
someone's day and positively impacting someone's life.”
“Millions of people silently wish for change in their
communities, their organizations, their families and
themselves. The problem is, just wishing for change alone
accomplishes little. Passionately going the extra mile in our actions, however, can
accomplish a ton,” Extra Mile Day Founder Anderson shares. “Extra Mile Day is a small
reminder of the power we each have to create change every single day in every area of
our lives.”
