Make A Promise Day Greeting Card - May 4th “These new ‘Make A Promise Day’ gift items are one more way for millions of people around the world to participate in and support Make A Promise Day on May 4th,” said Cossolotto. “These are unique and memorable gifts that people can enjoy all year but they have special meaning leading up to Make A Promise Day itself. I want to highlight two versions of the greeting card. One includes a simple “I Promise” form that allows the sender to make a special written promise to the recipient. The other greeting card is blank on the inside so the sender has the option to make a specific promise or simply extend a more general greeting on Make A Promise Day. I believe people are going will enjoy getting into the spirit of giving and receiving these special ‘Make A Promise Day’ gifts leading up to May 4th every year.” Cossolotto, a former aide to House Speaker Jim Wright and Congressman Leon Panetta, launched the first annual “Make A Promise Day” last May 4th as part of his ongoing mission to share the power of making a promise with millions of people around the world. The Town Board in Yorktown, New York, unanimously adopted a resolution on February 15, 2011, proclaiming May 4th to be “Make A Promise Day.” Watch this video for more information: Cossolotto is also writing a book about the power of making a promise with a foreword by Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. The book includes stories about real people who have made and kept important promises in their lives. Here is a brief excerpt from Jack Canfield’s foreword to Cossolotto’s forthcoming book: "When Matthew first told me about the heartfelt promise he made to his mother and that he was launching a special day called “Make A Promise Day” on May 4th, I was hooked. You could say he had me at “I promise.”… Contributing the foreword to this book and being associated with Matthew’s inspiring “Make-A-Promise” Author and publisher Rick Frishman wrote this about “Make A Promise Day:” "Happy ‘Make A Promise Day’ everybody! I really like Matthew's idea. The power of making a promise to someone you care about really can change your life. Great work Matthew ... May The Fourth Be With You!" http://www.RickFrishman.com In addition to sending and receiving gifts, Cossolotto is asking supporters to spread the word about “Make A Promise Day” to jurisdictions across the U.S. and around the world. He asks people to urge appropriate authorities in their town, city, county, state (or province) and country to adopt a “Make A Promise Day” Proclamation similar to the one passed by the Yorktown, New York, Town Board on February 15, 2011. Here is the proposed text of a resolution that could be adapted and adopted by appropriate authorities in jurisdictions around the world: DRAFT “MAKE A PROMISE DAY” PROCLAMATION Whereas, the Town Board of Yorktown, New York, unanimously adopted a resolution on February 15, 2011, proclaiming May 4th of 2011 and each year thereafter to be Make A Promise Day; Whereas, Make a Promise Day is the only unofficial “holiday” dedicated to personal empowerment, goal achievement and integrity enhancement; Whereas, Make A Promise Day encourages individuals to turn important goals into heartfelt promises thereby increasing the probability of reaching those goals; Whereas, celebrating Make A Promise Day will have the effect of enhancing accountability, personal responsibility and integrity; Whereas, the (INSERT JURISDICTION/ Now therefore be it resolved, that the (INSERT JURISDICTION/ Cossolotto knows about the power of making a promise from personal experience. He made a promise to his mother on her deathbed that he would finish writing a book he had been discussing with her, get it published, and dedicate it to her memory. The resulting book, complete with Cossolotto’s dedication to his mother, is HabitForce! How to Kick the Habits of FAILURE and Adopt the Habits of SUCCESS. To underscore the power of making a promise, Cossolotto cites several high-profile examples: • Oprah Winfrey made a promise to Nelson Mandela that she would build a school for girls in South Africa. • Nancy Brinker, author of Promise Me and founder of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, promised her sister and breast cancer victim Suzy that she would help find a cure. • Before his daughter’s wedding, former president Bill Clinton made a promise to Chelsea that he would watch his diet and take care of his health. Finally, Cossolotto invites people around the world to submit short summaries of their uplifting true stories of promises made and promises kept for possible inclusion in forthcoming books, presentations, and interviews.
