Random Acts of Kindness returns to Chesterfield Mall

During the week of Feb. 13, hundreds of shoppers across the bi-state were surprised with random acts of kindness courtesy of CBL Malls and their partners including Coca-Cola, mall retail stores and restaurants, Make-a-Wish^® and West Newsmagazine.

It was the second year for the program, which was met with gratitude from area shoppers, according to Amber Westerson, CBL’s group marketing director.

Volunteers from Make-A-Wish randomly selected customers to present with gifts that ranged from gift certificates to merchandise.

“Our goal was to thank our customers for shopping with us,” explained Westerson, “but our hope is that they will also pass along the kindness.”

Random Acts of Kindness week took place at all five CBL Malls, including Chesterfield Mall and Mid Rivers Mall. The week concludes with a $2,000 donation made collectively by CBL Malls to Make-A-Wish with the goal of fulfilling a child’s very special wish.
