Did you know that snow shoveling counts toward the 50 Yard Challenge too? With so many places getting snow right now, this is the PERFECT time for kids to jump in, serve their community, and knock out yards — even in the winter months! 🧤⛄️ Kids can shovel driveways, sidewalks, and walkways for elderly neighbors, veterans, single parents, and those in need — all while earning credit toward their 50 yards and leveling up their shirts! Kindness doesn’t stop when the grass stops growing! If your child isn’t signed up yet, now is a great time to join and start making an impact — rain, shine, or snow! Let’s turn these snow days into service days Sign up : bit.ly/50yardsignup

These kids accepted The 50 Yard Challenge — and completed it by mowing 50 free lawns in their community for the elderly, disabled, single parents, first responders and veterans. They earned brand new mowers, weed eaters & blowers. What’s stopping your kids from doing the same? Our 50 Yard Challenge is open year-round for boys and girls nationwide. Along with mowing, kids also help by raking leaves, shoveling snow, and picking up litter in their neighborhoods — proving that kindness has no season. We have 6,000+ kids across the U.S. and in 8 other countries that signed up since 2016 making a difference — one yard at a time. Will your kids be next to accept the challenge?

Xavier & Logan of York,Pennsylvania have received their starter packs, Raising Men shirts, safety glasses, and ear protection and they’re officially ready to take on the 50 Yard Challenge! Let’s show this dream team some love! What words of advice would you give them as they begin their journey?

Earning the Black Jacket is about so much more than mowing 50 lawns, it represents commitment, character, service, and the determination to finish what you started. Every lawn mowed for someone in need is another step toward earning something that cannot simply be bought; it has to be earned through hard work and giving back to others. When a young person puts on that Black Jacket, I want them to remember every hot day, every challenge, every person they helped, and every moment they could have quit but chose to keep going. The jacket is a symbol that says, “I made a commitment, I served my community, I didn’t give up, and I finished what I started.” It is something they should wear with pride for the rest of their lives.

Some kids talk about making a difference, while others roll up their sleeves and get to work. Brian is definitely a young man of action! 💪🏾🔥 WOW! Brian has officially submitted his 100th lawn! 🎉🏡 Not only did he complete our original 50 Yard Challenge, but he decided that 50 lawns weren’t enough! He took on our special 100 Yard Challenge, mowing 50 additional lawns completely FREE for the elderly, disabled, single parents, and veterans in his community. That’s 100 lawns, 100 acts of kindness, and countless lives touched by one incredible young man! ❤️ And here’s the part that really made me smile. Brian has already asked me if there’s a 150 Yard Challenge! 😂💪🏾 He’s not stopping at 100! He’s ready to keep going, serving his community and making a difference one lawn at a time. Brian, your dedication, kindness, and heart for helping others are truly inspiring. You’ve proven that when you have a passion for serving others, there’s no finish line to kindness. Family, please help me congratulate Brian on this incredible milestone! 👏🏾🎉💚

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Gentry, whose breast cancer was discovered after a terrible car accident. Imagine recovering from a serious accident while being told you also have cancer. Mrs. Gentry underwent surgery and 26 radiation treatments, but she refused to let cancer break her spirit. Through faith, determination, and a positive attitude, she kept going. Her message to others is simple: Never give up, keep your faith, and don’t let cancer stop you from living. ❤️🎀 Be sure to check out their video in my next post.

A kid on a mission . Brian of Colby, Wisconsin completed our 50 Yard Challenge this summer—but he wasn’t finished! He decided to keep serving by taking on one of our special editions, the 100 Yard Challenge, meaning 50 MORE free lawns for people in his community. Here he is back in action, proving that finishing one goal can simply be the beginning of the next. Keep it going, Brian!

Family, in two days I begin my 22nd 50-State Mowing Tour. Since my first tour in 2017, I’ve used mowing and customized lawn mowers to serve others and bring awareness to different causes. Beginning October 1, I’ll travel to all 50 states over 20 days for breast cancer awareness—in honor of my aunt, who was recently diagnosed. I’ll mow for those currently battling breast cancer, those in remission, and those who have sadly lost a loved one. After each lawn, we’ll sit down to share their stories and talk about the importance of early detection. This journey is about more than mowing—it’s about listening, honoring loved ones, and reminding people they’re not alone. You can still nominate someone, even if your state is filled, because cancellations can open spots. You’ll also find ways to support the tour. Thank you for helping make this possible. I can’t wait to share these heartfelt stories and take you along on this journey. 💗 I’ll post the link in next post with cities/states
