Hallandale Beach Plans Kindness Day with Local Partners and Year-Round Programs

During the Hallandale Beach City Commission meeting on August 20, 2025, a significant initiative aimed at fostering kindness within the community was announced. The Police Athletic League, alongside various local partners, is set to host a "Kindness Day" on November 13. This event will not only celebrate the efforts made over the past year but also serve as a launchpad for a year-long campaign promoting empathy and kindness throughout Hallandale Beach.

The initiative, which includes collaboration with organizations such as the Broward County School Board, Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, and the Early Learning Coalition, aims to engage residents of all ages—children, adults, businesses, and nonprofits alike. The goal is to transform Hallandale Beach into a "Kindness County," setting an example for the rest of South Florida.

Kenneth Cohen, a board member of the Police Athletic League, was recognized for his dedication to various community programs, including anti-bullying campaigns at local schools. His contributions highlight the importance of community involvement in fostering a supportive environment for youth.

The Kindness Day event is part of a broader effort to instill civic values in children, emphasizing the importance of kindness as a fundamental principle. The city’s commitment to this initiative reflects a desire to enhance community spirit and promote positive interactions among residents.

As the city prepares for this celebration, the focus remains on building a kinder, more empathetic community, reinforcing the idea that kindness is not just a one-day event but a continuous effort that can significantly impact daily life in Hallandale Beach.
