Daily Do Good: Portland, Maine Continues Valentine’s Day Bandit’s Tradition

In Portland, Maine, a cherished tradition of waking up to find red hearts adorning the city on Valentine’s Day has persisted for over 40 years. This tradition was threatened after the passing of Kevin Fahrman, who was only revealed as the “Valentine’s Day Bandit” after his death in April of 2023. He’d been spearheading the annual tradition of anonymously spreading joy through this gesture since 1979.

The community rallied together to continue Fahrman’s legacy of spreading love and kindness. On Valentine’s Day, hundreds of paper hearts appeared across the city, with banners displayed in various prominent locations, honoring Fahrman's memory and his selfless act of spreading joy.

Fahrman's daughter, Sierra, is grateful to see her father’s legacy of altruism live on through the creation of the The Fahrman Foundation. At the foundation’s website, BeAKevin.com, anyone can download and print hearts to participate in the tradition, helping to perpetuate Fahrman’s spirit of love and generosity.
