Jimmer Fredette and Choose Kindness Launch No-Cost Kindness Kits Inspiring a Wave of Kindness for Schools Across the Nation
25 Julio 2024 - 2:29PM
Choose Kindness, a nonprofit initiative founded by Jimmer Fredette,
former NBA player, standout NCAA athlete and current Olympian, is
thrilled to announce the launch of Kindness Kits. The aim of the
kits is to foster a culture of kindness in schools across the
country. As Fredette prepares to lead Team USA in the 3x3 Olympic
basketball tournament, he is also dedicated to spreading kindness
nationwide.
“Kindness is a powerful force that can change lives and
communities,” said Fredette. “As we prepare for the Olympic Games,
I’m equally excited about the potential impact that these Kindness
Kits can have in schools across America. By fostering a culture of
kindness, we can create a brighter future for our children.”
The Kindness Kits are produced through a unique collaboration
between the Cook Center for Human Connection, Adobe, and Certiport,
a Pearson VUE business. The Kindness Kits were designed by top
student designers competing in the Certiport Adobe Certified
Professional U.S. National Championship, ensuring that the kits are
impactful, engaging, and accessible to students of all
ages.
Each Kindness Kit includes access to the Choose Kindness Portal,
offering students and families daily challenges and activities
designed to promote kindness and encourage positive interactions.
The Kindness Kit can be used for schools K-12. Educators can
request a no-cost Kindness Kit for their school by visiting
www.winningwithkindness.com.
“Our goal is to create a wave of kindness that reaches every
corner of the country,” said Anne Brown, President and CEO of the
Cook Center for Human Connection. “The Kindness Kits are a tangible
way to empower educators and students to build more compassionate
and connected communities. We hope as many schools as possible will
take advantage of these kindness resources.”
“We believe that empowering students to use their creativity for
a greater cause not only enhances their skills but instills in them
the values of empathy and kindness,” said Craig Bushman, General
Manager, Certiport. “Choose Kindness has provided a unique platform
for young minds to contribute to a nationwide movement of kindness.
We were delighted to provide the forum for creation of the Kindness
Kits and are confident the students’ designs will inspire and
remind everyone of the power of compassion and connection.”
