Brad Aronson, "HumanKind: Changing the World One Small Act at a Time"

Wednesday, June 1, 7:00 PM

Online Program (Zoom)

Brad Aronson’s life changed in an instant when his wife was diagnosed with leukemia. Amid the stress and despair of waiting for the treatment to work, they were met by an outpouring of kindness from friends, family and even complete strangers. Inspired by the many demonstrations of “humankindness” that supported their family through his wife’s recovery, Brad began writing about the people who rescued his family from that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures. Knowing that simple acts of kindness transform lives across the globe every day, he sought out these stories and shares some of the best ones here.

Brad Aronson is a husband and a dad. He teaches urban youth, and everyone in his classes start their own business, which has led to many adventures in entrepreneurship.
