Local Edward Jones financial advisor Kevin King has come up with a great way to celebrate the grand opening of the company's new location on Elk Creek Drive. Rather than the typical ribbon-and-baloon festivities, he's giving out a unique opportunity for 50 fellow citizens to do some good with a $20 Pay It Forward Challenge.
Participants not only have the opportunity to Pay It Forward in the community but they can also nominate their favorite local non-profit for a chance for that organization to receive $1,000.
Here are the rules:
- To participate in the Pay It Forward Challenge, visit King's new office located at 1610 Elk Creek Drive in Idaho Falls on May 17 beginning at 10 a.m. to receive $20 to Pay It Forward and nominate your favorite local 501(c) charity. Participation is limited to the first 50 people. The charities nominated will then be eligible to receive $1,000.
- You choose how you would like to Pay It Forward. Examples: Buy a meal for those less fortunate, bring tasty treats to the local police or fire station or buy books and donate them to people in transitional housing. You can be as creative as you want.
- You have one week to fulfill this challenge and share your good deed(s), , on King's Edward Jones' Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/EJAdvisorKevinKing. Members of the community will be able to vote for their favorite nominated charity by visiting the Grand Opening Celebration on May 24 between (time TBD) and casting their vote.
