Our Mission

At The Be Great & Be Grateful Project, our mission is to carry forward the spirit of Cheryl Leigh Palantino - a life rooted in service, faith, and genuine kindness toward others.

Cheryl found purpose in giving. Whether she was caring for animals and connecting with children at Fox Chase Farm, delivering meals and building friendships through Caring for Friends, or bringing comfort and companionship to those unable to attend Mass, she showed us what it means to serve with heart. Her faith guided her daily, and her compassion extended far beyond those she knew personally - she believed everyone was worthy of love, prayer, and support.

Inspired by her example, our mission is simple yet powerful: to create meaningful acts of kindness, support those in need, and strengthen our communities through service. We aim to make giving back a way of life that reflects Cheryl’s unwavering belief in living with purpose and gratitude.

We invite you to join us in continuing her legacy.
