Presented by Peterson Chevrolet & The Good Network
One act of kindness can change everything.
Right now, someone in our community is going through something you may know nothing about. If you know their story, tell us. This Christmas, Peterson Chevrolet in Boise and The Good Network want to give someone in the Treasure Valley a holiday they won't forget.
Nominations open November 1–20
Two ways to nominate
Fill out the nomination form
Tell us who they are, why you're nominating them and how a little extra kindness could help this holiday season. You'll be asked for your contact info so we can follow up.
Nominating yourself or your family? That's welcome. On the form, choose “Other” for relationship and enter “Self.”
Open the nomination formTell their story in a Reel
Create a Facebook or Instagram Reel about someone who deserves to be recognized or could use a helping hand. Tag or collab The Good Network and Peterson Chevrolet so we can find your video and hear their story.
It doesn't need to be polished. Sometimes the most powerful stories are simply people speaking from the heart.
Please get permission before sharing someone's personal circumstances publicly, especially when children are involved. If the story is private, use the form instead.
Who to nominate
Someone in the Treasure Valley who could use a little extra support
- A parent working multiple jobs to provide for their family
- A grandparent raising their grandchildren
- A veteran who served and could use some support
- A family facing an unexpected medical diagnosis
- Someone who is always helping others but rarely receives help
Not because we're looking for the saddest story, but because we believe that sometimes, all it takes is one community coming together.

How it works
From a story to a Christmas surprise
Tell us their story
Submit the nomination form or share a Reel by November 20.
We read every one
Our team and The Good Network review every nomination and get to know each story. Selected individuals and families are contacted privately.
We bring them in
On December 11, recipients join us at Peterson Chevrolet, where we surprise them with gifts chosen just for them, based on their story.
Year one
Last Christmas, you told us their stories. Then we surprised them.
Questions
Who can I nominate?
Any individual or family in the Treasure Valley who could use some extra support this holiday season.
Can I nominate myself?
Yes. If you or your family could use some extra support this season, you're welcome to tell your own story. On the form, choose “Other” for relationship and enter “Self.”
When do nominations close?
Nominations are open November 1 through November 20, 2026.
What do recipients receive?
Every gift is different. We choose gifts after hearing each person's story, which is why the form asks how we can make their holidays more special.
Does nominating someone guarantee they'll be selected?
No. Every nomination is reviewed, and selected individuals or families are contacted privately.
Will their story be shared publicly?
Only with their permission. Recipients sign a separate media release before any filming.
