What if a Simple Pen Could Change a Story?
Welcome to a global experiment in kindness. A chance to leave a spark of joy for a stranger and become part of a story bigger than yourself.
A Small Act. A Big Ripple.
At its heart, The Pen Drop Project is about transforming an ordinary moment into an extraordinary connection. It’s a belief that a single, tangible piece of kindness can change the course of a day.
“It starts with a simple pen… and ends with someone having a better day.”
The Journey of a Pen
1. A Story Begins
Each project pen is engraved with a message of hope or courage. It all starts when someone like you decides to put one into the world.
2. A Connection is Made
The pen is left in an everyday place—a café, a park, a waiting room—for a stranger to discover. This small, unexpected find creates a moment of joy and connection.
3. The Story is Shared
Finders and droppers share their discoveries on social media with #DropItForward, creating a global map of kindness and allowing the pen’s journey to be followed by everyone.
More Than a Color. A Choice of Kindness.
Will you choose Journey Glow Yellow?
This is the color of a day made brighter. It’s a radiant hue named to honor the path of every individual—a hopeful light for the road ahead. When you choose this pen, you’re choosing to leave a little sunshine for a stranger to find. You’re sending a message of pure encouragement, a reminder that their path is seen and their day deserves a spark of unexpected joy.
Or will you choose Project Poppy Red?
This is more than just red; it’s a color with a deep and resonant story. Inspired by the poppy flower—a timeless symbol of honor and resilience—this hue is for the moments you want to share a message of strength. When you drop this pen, you’re leaving a bold statement of solidarity, a quiet nod to the courage it takes to bloom in even the most difficult of places.
Our Mission: To Honor Every Journey
Major’s Mark was founded on a simple, powerful principle learned through a life of service as a retired Army Major: every single journey has a story worth honoring. The Pen Drop Project is the culmination of this belief. It is our way of transforming this mission from a statement into a tangible movement. Each pen dropped is a small act of remembrance, a nod to resilience, and a testament to the strength of the human spirit that connects us all. It’s how we make our mark.
