Alex Sheen founded the nonprofit "Because I Said I Would" after his father's death to spread the message of keeping promises and the good feelings that come from doing so. The organization distributes "promise cards" for people to write a promise on and give to the person they're promising something to, returning the card when the promise is kept. Demand for the cards has grown so high that the small staff of four is struggling to fulfill the 70,000 card requests received weekly. The article encourages readers interested in helping a small nonprofit with an interesting idea to look into volunteering for "Because I Said I Would" located in Lakewood, Ohio as they could use additional assistance.
