- Cardz for Kidz! vs. Send a Smile Today
The definition of “rival” is: a person [or thing] who is competing for the same object or goal as
another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor.
Based on that description and
some of the examples provided above, one could consider Send a Smile Today and
Cardz for Kidz!
rivals. Both of us are working towards the same objective, to get people (e.g. Girl
Scout troops) to make uplifting homemade cards for people who are going through
difficult times. Another similarity is both groups have specializations based
on their founders’ personal experience; Send a Smile Today– reaches
people battling cancer,
Cardz for Kidz! - room to room
deliveries, #EveryCardCounts.
With that said, it’s hard to
imagine finding the Pepsi logo on the Coca Cola site even though they both sell
soda. Or a Republican endorsing a Democrat even when the country needs to unite
this election season. But despite our “differences”, if you check out our
Participants tab, you’ll find the Send a Smile Today logo.
It works because we agreed that great minds think alike! Our
methods may differ, but our goals are very similar. We both realized how
helpful these cards can be during tough times and that we should help others
going through trying times. We decided that if there comes a time when one of
us gets extra cards and the other one is short, then we’d share between groups.
So instead of being an ultimate rivalry like the old school Celtics vs. the Lakers, we’ll
be THE DREAM TEAM and work together
to get more homemade cards out there!
