What is it about Respect?

​Respect builds​ bridges.
Respect is the fabric that binds us together.  ​
Respect is good for families, schools, business, churches . . . for all relationships.
​​Respectfulness looks for the highest and best in others, opening the way for greater appreciation and positive relationships.

"The initiative fits perfectly into the foundation's goal of supporting things that make the community better. We can't do it without respect."

"Davie County is the perfect size to have this experiment (the Davie Respect Initiative) in that we will experience the results immediately as more respect is practiced. We don’t have to agree, but we can always be respectful towards one another.”
