New Year’s Promise

http://www.becauseisaidiwould.com At the beginning of 2014, Alex Sheen made a New Year's Promise to volunteer at 52 different nonprofit organizations - one each week for 52 weeks in a row. Alex fulfilled his promise and this video covers his top ten moments in the year. Alex Sheen is the Founder of because I said I would.

http://www.facebook.com/becauseisaidiwould In 2013, Alex Sheen, Founder of Because I said I would, made a 52 part New Year's resolution. He made a mistake though... he should have called it a promise. Too often so called "resolutions" just become a joke by the time March rolls around. This was a more serious commitment. It's different when you break a promise. That's how he wants it to be treated. http://www.becauseisaidiwould.com

We created a walls at each location where people could write and publically share their New Year's Resolutions, but we called it something else: A New Year's Promise. Video and photos of these events were uploaded to a server at 2:00am then edited into this video. Write your New Year's Promise on a piece of paper, take a picture of it and share it through social media with #NewYearsPromise. Make this year count. From Amanda, Christine and Alex at because I said I would, happy New Year.
