Pleasant Grove, Utah, July 25, 2024 – 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 3×3 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.”
