Patch has launched a new initiative called Good Deeds, Great Communities that invites Bradenton residents to share stories of acts of kindness they have witnessed or experienced in their community. The program, sponsored by T-Mobile, will highlight these good deeds and make a $500 charitable donation to a local nonprofit in the winning community.

Why it matters

The Good Deeds, Great Communities initiative aims to celebrate the ways that people in Bradenton support and look out for one another, even through small everyday acts of kindness. By sharing these stories, the program hopes to inspire more residents to engage in community-building and generosity.

The details

Residents can submit their stories of good deeds, whether something they did themselves or something they observed someone else doing. Submissions will be open through March 31, 2026, and Patch will select one community to receive a $500 charitable donation based on the stories received. The real-time leaderboard will allow readers to follow along and encourage others in Bradenton to participate.

• The submission period for Good Deeds, Great Communities runs through March 31, 2026.
• Patch will select one community to receive a $500 charitable donation at the end of the submission period.

What’s next

Residents of Bradenton are encouraged to submit their stories of acts of kindness through the Good Deeds, Great Communities program before the March 31, 2026 deadline.
