Ben’s Bells Annual Appeal

Nothing in nature thrives on its own.

A flower nourishes a butterfly. The butterfly carries nectar from bloom to bloom. A leaf gathers sunlight and gives energy back to the whole. All around us, life is sustained through an exchange of giving and receiving.

Kindness works this way, too.

An act of kindness stays with us long after the moment has passed. Maybe someone believed in you, encouraged you, showed up when you needed support, or simply helped you feel seen.

That kindness becomes part of you. And you carry it forward.

That’s the reciprocity of kindness: what we receive becomes part of what we give.

At Ben’s Bells, we turn that idea into practice. We know kindness is more than a good intention. It’s a skill we can strengthen. Your generosity helps us create opportunities for children and adults to build connection, belonging, and kinder communities.

Your support helps kindness take root.

LAST YEAR ALONE…

62,707 STUDENTS served through Kind Campus during the 2025–2026 school year.

OVER 900 BELLS hung across the world as reminders of kindness and connection.

672 VOLUNTEERS welcomed into our studios to create handmade art that inspires kindness in others.

EACH YEAR…

FREE KINDNESS EDUCATION PROGRAMMING gives educators research-based tools to strengthen kindness in the classroom and build school culture.

FREE WORKPLACE PROGRAMMING helps adults build kinder, more-connected workplaces.

LASTING COMMUNITY CONNECTION grows through murals, ceramic art, and programming that reminds people their actions matter.

Your generosity helps Ben’s Bells prioritize and support kindness across the community. And then, it keeps going.

This year’s limited-edition Annual Appeal Bell reflects the reciprocity found in nature through its ceramic flower, butterfly, and leaf, each contributing to something larger.

With a gift of $175 or more, you’ll receive our limited-edition three-piece handmade Bell, or single-flower Bell with a gift of $100, each a reminder that kindness doesn’t end where it begins.

Will you make a gift today to help kindness take root and flourish?

Nothing blooms alone.

Thank you for your commitment to growing the impact of kindness. What you set in motion will travel farther than you imagine.

With hearts full of gratitude,

Katie Kevershan, Executive Director

Tracy Aleksić, Director of Development
