Inspired by J.K. Simmons Oscar quote, the Social Media class of Spring 2015 at the American University of Sharjah brought to life a new initiative with the aim to encourage people to appreciate their parents and give time to be thankful.

The older we get the more preoccupied we are with our life. The #CallYourParents initiative serves as a reminder to get in touch with our parents, promoting a kind gesture towards our most loved ones, just simply thank them for all what they’ve done for us.

The following quote is from J.K. Simmons at the 87th Annual Awards:

“Call your mom, call your dad. If you are lucky enough to have a parent or two alive on this planet, call them.

Don't text, don't e-mail.

Call them on the phone. Tell them you love them and thank them and will be to them for as long as they want to talk to you.”

Cherish your parents.
