For the month of March, IMOTO is collecting Random Acts of Kindness. Customers, IMOTO pros, and fans of IMOTO can anonymously submit an act of kindness through this form. For each act of kindness submitted, IMOTO will donate $1 to the Pablove Shutterbugs - a program that teaches photography to children living with cancer.

Check out our list of 100 Random Acts of Kindness to get some inspiration!
