Share your story of Optimism and you could win a VIP trip for you and a friend at WE Day in NYC.

New York City defines optimism.

It’s difficult to describe the feeling, but the entire city just screams, “anything is possible.” NYC feels like the center of the universe, and the place where real change can begin. Maybe it’s the scale of everything— it’s all massive. Or maybe it’s the just the sheer energy of the city itself— it sweats adrenaline and enthusiasm.

Whatever it is, New York City makes you feel like your dreams are within reach. So what better place to attend  WE Day on April 6^th?

SLN is helping Kernels spread the word on their partnership with WE charity. They’re currently fundraising to bring development programming to the community of Esinoni in Kenya.

How can you help?

When you purchase a special Kernels Gift Card, you or your gift recipient will receive the amount spent (ex. $25) on their Gift Card, and Kernels will donate the amount equivalent to 10% of the Gift Card value (ex. $2.50) directly to the Optimism Project.

Oh, and if you’re Toronto, you can also purchase a Kernels’ WE Snack Bag for $2, and for every bag sold, Kernels Optimism Project will donate $1 (50% of the bag value). There are 3 locations in the Eaton Center:

But if you want to go to NYC, all you have to do is share your own story of optimism.

You. A friend.

WE Day. NYC.
