Join the initiative to write 10,000 thank-you cards this November

Spread gratitude this November by joining Park City local, Jenn Drummond, in her initiative to send 10,000 thank-you cards

PARK CITY, Utah — It only takes a few minutes to write a thank-you card, but the gesture can stay with the recipient for a lifetime.

Park City entrepreneur, author and mountaineer Jenn Drummond is inviting the public to make gratitude a priority this November through Thankful & Thoughtful, an initiative aiming to send 10,000 handwritten thank-you cards.

The campaign, created in partnership with Drummond’s app Somedays, encourages individuals, families and organizations to write cards or host gatherings to recognize the people who have made a difference in their lives.

“The number is really just a way to create a ripple,” Drummond said. “Ten thousand moments where someone stops, thinks of another human being and says, ‘You mattered to me.'”

The campaign carries added significance for Drummond following the death of her long-time friend and mountain guide, Todd Passey.

“Todd was there from day one. He stood on the summit with me as I achieved my first world record and later coached me over the phone as I was self-guiding my last world record,” Drummond said. “I kept meaning to thank him in a proper way, but he died in a ski accident in August, and I never got to.”

Through Thankful & Thoughtful, Drummond is encouraging people to put that appreciation into words.

Those interested in participating in the November challenge or hosting their own card-writing event can find more information on the Somedays website and log their cards toward the campaign’s goal.

The initiative will also kickoff with two free events planned for Monday, Oct. 26. The Park City gathering will run from 3 to 6 p.m. at WIN Park City’s CoLAB, 6699 N. Landmark Drive, Suite K-110, while the Salt Lake City event will run from 9 a.m. to noon at JR Law Group.

The initiative builds toward the January 12, 2027 launch of Drummond’s new book, SOMEDAYS: The Art of Turning Someday into Today.
