2ND ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP & AWARDS DINNER
Because of YOU… Kindness Carries On.
Together, we raised over $150,000 for our Kindness Carries On Scholarship Fund — helping us continue to recognize and support students who lead with kindness, lift others up, include everyone around them, and choose love every single day.
It’s Always Sunny Above The Clouds
The Voices on Our Stage
Our stage was filled with incredible voices and beautiful reminders of hope, resilience, and the ripple effect kindness creates. We were so honored to hear from NFL Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware and Prestonwood Pastor David Shivers deliver a meaningful conversation, Dr. Zac Bauermaster who reminded us that kindness can truly change lives one fist bump at a time, our 2025 Kindness Carries On Scholar Audra Shioya sharing her journey at Boston College, Hope Church Pastor Mike Martin’s message of resilience and hope, and from sweet Phinley Wooldridge who opened dinner with a beautiful invocation.
