The Red Oak Fire Department and Dave Carbaugh State Farm Insurance are teaming up for a Montgomery County “2020 Challenge.” The insurance company-sponsored national challenge, is for each person to do 100 acts of good; it will be a big opportunity to help strengthen communities across the county. The rules are simple:

• Agree to the challenge for the year 2020.
• Sign up yourself as an individual/your family/your organization/your business. Entry forms will be available at State Farm, 207 E. Coolbaugh St. or the Red Oak Police Dept. at 106 W. Coolbaugh St.. Fill out entry and leave at location.
• As an individual or group you agree to do 100 acts of good in your community. There will be no guidelines as to what an ‘act of good’ is, but we do ask that it be an extra effort. (So, we are hoping established deeds or deeds done normally through employment are not counted in the total.) Help someone with yard work, buy someone lunch, spend time mentoring.
• You will not be graded or judged on what you accomplish, but we are asking you to keep a total or list of good acts/deeds and report that to us. Dave Carbaugh State Farm and ROPD will keep a total and we will let everyone know at the end of the year how many acts were done.
• You may do more than 100, (some larger groups may accomplish this in a month). This will not be a contest on who gets the most acts done, but random prizes will be awarded throughout the contest.

Individuals, teams, businesses, organizations may sign up and pledge to do 100 (or more) self-monitored Acts of Good.  At the end of the year, there will be a tally on the number of extra good that occurred in the Montgomery County area.

Questions may be directed to Dave Carbaugh – 712-623-5639, Red Oak Police Chief Justin Rhamy, 712-623-6500, or Brad Baker at ROPD, 712-370-3062.
