Why Skip Kindness Inc

OUR STORY

In September 2017, Why Skip Coffee Day was created to honor our late father, Rufus W. Skipworth III, affectionately known as Skip, who was an avid coffee drinker and known for his extraordinary acts of kindness. His legacy of generosity inspired me to encourage others to lead with the same heart.

 

What began as a simple gesture, inviting family, friends, and social media connections to buy a cup of coffee for a stranger in his honor, quickly became something deeply meaningful. After each Why Skip Coffee Day, I felt a growing desire to expand these efforts and reach more people.

 

In May 2020, I turned that commitment into something more lasting by founding Why Skip Kindness Inc., a nonprofit organization grounded in intentional love and service. We officially received our 501(c)(3) status on November 28, 2024.
