[Pittsburgh and Larchmont, NY] – July 12, 2010 – In eleven cities on July 14, 2010, a total of seventy-seven of the country’s top mom bloggers and their kids will carry out random acts of goodness and kindness on the first-ever “Do Good Day”.

Through a partnership with TheMotherhood and 77kids by american eagle®, Do Good Day will take place in: Boston; Cherry Hill, NJ; Chicago; Danbury; Los Angeles; New York City; Minneapolis/St. Paul; Syracuse; and Washington, DC.

“Mom bloggers and their children have created original, fun, moving ways to do good in their local communities and we are awed by the potential of so many trusted, powerful online voices doing good together, all on the same day,” said Cooper Munroe, co-founder of TheMotherhood.com

Concurrently, on Wednesday, July 14, 2010, teams of mom bloggers in each city will do good in ‘pay it forward’ kinds of activities, including:

• In Chicago, the Do Good Day team will visit Ronald McDonald Houses to prepare meals for the families and provide activities.

• In New Jersey, the mom bloggers will set up a “thank you station”, giving people an opportunity to take a few moments to fill out a post card and thank a soldier and/or veteran. They will incorporate fun activities for kids, like face painting, tattoos, etc.

• The L.A. team is heading to Seaside Lagoon, a family beach in Redondo Beach, CA, to pay it forward by making get well cards for the children at Children’s Hospital of Orange County. For every get well card made, kids will receive a 77Kids list of good deeds that can be completed for $1 along with a crisp one dollar bill to pay the good deed forward. Cold Stone Creamery and Ruby’s Diner have partnered with the 7 member L.A. blogger team to reward children participating with ice cream and kid’s meals.

• Team Philadelphia will be “Brightening Someone’s Day” at a retirement community to hand out flowers and other goodies to the residents and deliver special crafts that represent what a parent/grandparent means to the mom bloggers and their kids.

• In Pittsburgh, the Do Good Day team will assemble backpacks filled with school supplies and a “mini mission” (a thank you card and stamp, with instructions to write and send thank you note to someone deserving; paper, crayons and a pre-addressed envelope, with instructions to draw a picture and send it to a resident of an assisted care home, etc.).

Do Good Day is timed to the grand opening of 77kids stores in five cities: Pittsburgh; Cherry Hill, NJ; Danbury, CT; Syracuse; and the Mall of America.
