Believe Project: $100 to make the day of 10 people or more

Today's winner of a $100 bill through the Believe Project is Evan Ruggiero of Chicago.

Here is an excerpt of his pitch:

"As a person who fell in love with the "Pay It Forward" movie, I've always had the urge to make a person's day, everyday. Whether it's a friendly gesture, holding the door open, donating a few bucks, or even just a compliment; the "feel good" feeling you get in the back of your head is insurmountable. As a person who lives in the city, $100 can take you in so many directions. Why spend all $100 on one person when you can make the day of at least 10 people with coffee, a burger, a beer, etc.?

• The Believe Project mails a $100 bill each day to someone with a good idea for how to use it to do a good deed for someone else.
