What is a Zebra Drop?
A Joy Drop is a heartwarming and uplifting activity where a group of compassionate individuals come together to spread joy and positivity within their community. This delightful endeavor involves visiting people or businesses with the sole mission of brightening their day. Participants bring along an assortment of happiness-inducing gifts, such as delectable desserts, fragrant flowers, heartfelt cards, cherished toys, or anything else that might bring a smile to the recipient's face.
The essence of a Joy Drop lies in the simple act of giving without expecting anything in return. It's about creating moments of pure happiness, forging connections, and reminding people that they are valued and cherished members of the community. Whether surprising a neighbor with a bouquet of fresh flowers, leaving a batch of homemade cookies at a local store, or gifting a child a new toy, a Joy Drop radiates kindness and goodwill, making the world a brighter and more joyful place, one drop of happiness at a time.
Nomination Process
The nomination process for a Zebra Drop is straightforward and community-driven. To nominate a candidate, individuals submit a nomination form, detailing the nominee's impact on the rare community. These submissions are then meticulously reviewed by a dedicated team of individuals who are actively involved in the rare disease community. These reviewers bring expertise and insight to ensure fair and deserving candidates are selected.
Winners are not chosen all at once; instead, they are selected throughout the year, allowing us to recognize families and community members often. Nominators play a vital role in this process; when a submission wins, they are promptly notified. This notification empowers them to participate in making the recognition a reality, fostering a sense of community and collaboration in celebrating the remarkable efforts of those in the rare disease community. Together, we honor those whose lives are impacted by rare diseases and those who make a difference and work towards a brighter future for those affected by rare diseases.
