The Rotary Club of Carmel and Kiwanis Club of Carmel are partnering to launch the “Jim Irsay 1976 Acts of Kindness Day” in the summer of 2026 in celebration of Carmel’s 50th anniversary as a city. This collaborative, community-wide initiative will feature multiple service projects across Carmel and will take place Aug. 5.

Rooted in the shared mission of both organizations to strengthen communities and develop leaders through service, the event will bring together volunteers from Rotary, Kiwanis, and other service organizations, local businesses, and non-profits to complete 1,976 acts of kindness, honoring the memory of Jim Irsay.

By dedicating a single day to collective impact, the partnership aims to inspire civic pride, expand community engagement, and leave a lasting, positive mark on the city of Carmel.
