40 for 40

Celebrating 40 Years in Business and Paying it forward

As QPS marks 40 years in business, we honor the spirit of community and the legacy of our founders—Scott, Mark, and Dan—by entrusting you with $40 to “Pay It Forward.”

This gesture is not about recognition but about giving with humility and sincerity. We would love to hear your stories about how you used this money to make a difference.

Our goal is to create a ripple effect of kindness, where one thoughtful act inspires another. Whether it’s accompanied by a smile or a handwritten note of appreciation, let your gift spread positivity.

Share your story on Yammer over the next month, and we’ll feature many of them here on our website. Your story can take the form of a photo, a written account, or even a video.

Show your creativity, and let your story reflect a journey—from a moment of need to a lasting impact. Together, let’s create a legacy of kindness.

Pay it Forward...or Backward

Here are some examples of what you can do with your $40

  • Leave a generous tip for a server, delivery driver, or other hardworking individuals in the service industry
  • Buy someone’s coffee or meal
  • Recognize someone else’s kind act with a note of thanks, public recognition, and a small gift
  • Purchase blankets, socks, or toiletries and donate to a shelter
  • Purchase flowers to brighten someone’s day
  • Pair a thoughtful note of appreciation with a gift card to create a meaningful surprise
  • Donate to a food bank, where $40 can make a significant impact
  • Contribute to a stranger’s grocery bill at checkout
  • Purchase lottery scratch off tickets and hand them out

This is just a small sampling of ideas. Remember to demonstrate your creativity!
