I Choose Kindness

The Autism Program (TAP) of Easterseals and the Rockford IceHogs teamed up last October for National Bullying Prevention Month and held a special event to put an end to #bullying.  As part of the campaign, we asked for everyone to send us a photo, selfie, or group photo with a self-made sign that says, "I choose kindess."  We aired the video at the event. Please take a moment to view the beautiful photos and facts about bullying. Enjoy!
