Recognize Acts of Kindness

Here in Bethel Park, the abundance of kindness displayed each day is evident with neighbors helping neighbors, businesses reaching out to the community, and everyone in Bethel Park pulling together in times of need!

Because of this, we’re once again holding our Bethel Park Kindness Project and inviting YOU to be part of It!

When you witness an act of kindness, please take a moment and recognize the INDIVIDUAL, GROUP, BUSINESS, and even YOURSELF through our Bethel Park Kindness Project.  We’re accepting recognitions now through Feb. 10, 2023 and will announce those being recognized Friday, Feb. 17, 2023 on Random Acts of Kindness Day.

Acts of kindness may include someone grocery shopping for you, cutting your grass, watching your children, walking your dog, taking out your trash, donating items to the community, or any other kind acts.

How to Submit a Recognition

Submitting a kindness recognition is simple!  Simply fill out the Kindness Recognition Submission Form on this page…that’s it!

Those recognized will receive a Bethel Park Kindness Certificate from Mayor Jack Allen and be part of a special video at our BPTV Studio highlighting these wonderfully kind individuals!  All Kindness recipients will also be listed on our website and in Bethel Park Chronicles.

We’re looking forward to showing everyone how truly special the Bethel Park Community is!

Our Recent Kindness Recipients

Here are highlights from our most recent Kindness recipients!

Monica Lewis-Carter

Monica was given a Kindness Recognition by her neighbor Nicole Torrey.  Nicole said that when she and her family moved to Bethel Park in 2018, Monica welcomed them to the community by stopping by to give them a potted flower!  Ever since, she’s extended kindness to the Torrey family by doing such things as dropping off food boxes from her church and giving their twin boys Christmas gifts.  Nicole said that Monica has been a kind and thoughtful neighbor that made her family feel loved and welcomed in the community!

Kevin Smyth

Kevin was nominated for a Kindness Recognition by his neighbor Carolyn Noce.  She said that he’s known as ‘The Mayor of Upper Boulder Drive’ and received that distinction at the first block party held there in 1990.  Carolyn said that Kevin shovels snow and mows lawns for those in the neighborhood who are aging before he leaves for work in the mornings and helps neighbors on Rocky Ridge Road as well!  Carolyn also noted that she and her neighbors were proud to have turned Kevin into a YINZER even though he’s originally from Philadelphia!  Carolyn wrote about how Kevin and her husband started the neighborhood tradition each Halloween of serving refreshments to trick-or-treaters to help adult family members coming home from work with no time for dinner before trick-or-treating. And, finally, Carolyn mentioned that Kevin supports any child selling items for fundraisers.  Because Kevin will be moving back to Philadelphia in the future, Carolyn wanted to be sure that he had this Kindness Recognition Certificate with him to show all of his Philadelphian friends and family!

Jacob Pitoniak

Young Jacob was nominated by his mother, Jill Pitoniak, for all the kindness he spreads throughout the community – especially during Christmas!  She said that when he was five years old, he asked Santa for a Santa suit so that he could dress up just like him!  She said that each year since then, he’s been to nursing homes, hospitals and assisted living facilities giving out Christmas cards and candy canes to residents.  His mother said that this past December was his 8th year being Santa and spreading cheer and that he does it simply to make people smile.
