#SignsUp Contest

#HeartBeatsHate
You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.” – Pubilius Syrus

Did you know that HeartBeatsHate is a grassroots movement? It’s true. We started in 2017 when our Founder, Alan Quarry, was watching the Unite the Right Rally events unfold. He was shocked by the level of racism, bigotry, hatred, and violence unfolding in Charlottesville and thought that someone should do something. Then, instead of waiting for someone to do something, he decided to act. He believed that hate was a choice (the wrong one at that!) and that we needed to stand up, speak out and push back against it. With that, HeartBeatsHate was born.


Since 2017, we’ve been busy raising awareness of our work. We’ve built resources, hosted rallies, fundraised, and marched all in an effort to spread more heart in our world. Through each outreach, we’ve grown, with more and more people deciding to join us.


This past week we printed 250 HeartBeatsHate lawn signs to help us get our message out. And we’re giving them away, for FREE! Which is where you come in!


If you agree with what we’ve doing - then this contest is for you! While the complete Contest Rules & Regulations are listed below, here’s a quick overview of what you need to do:

  3. Request a lawn sign (you can do this by commenting on a social media post, sending us a direct message or by email)

    - If you’re in the Kichener-Waterloo area we ask that you pick up your sign from the Quarry offices in St Jacobs, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday between 9am and 5pm (Note the offices are closed Wednesdays)
    - If you’re outside of Kitchener-Waterloo or unable to pick up the signs, let us know and we’ll ship them to you
  5. Snap a pic of your sign on your lawn or at your business and post to Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter
    - be sure to tag us and use #HeartBeatsHate and #SignsUp
