Celebrating Community Impact: SixDegrees.org's Remarkable Kits Campaign
SixDegrees.org Achieves Landmark Campaign
SixDegrees.org, a notable national nonprofit founded by Kevin Bacon, has successfully fulfilled its inspiring goal of building and distributing a staggering 40,000 essential resource kits. This monumental effort spans across all 50 states and is part of their Building Kits by Kevin Bacon (BKxKB) initiative, which celebrates the 40th anniversary of the well-loved film 'Footloose.'
Connecting Through Community
Across the nation, SixDegrees.org has executed numerous BKxKB activations by forming partnerships with local communities, corporations, and festivals. Through these collaborations, they have effectively distributed over $1.5 million worth of tailored resources that cater to the unique needs of various recipients. The kits often contain brand-new socks, personal hygiene products, certificates for free mental health resources, and heartfelt handwritten notes, fostering a sense of connection and support.
Reflecting on the Impact
Reflecting on the campaign, Kevin Bacon shared, "We knew we wanted to do something big for the 40th anniversary of this film. Watching this campaign come to life, where people are enthusiastic about helping one another and recognizing our shared humanity, has been truly special. Together, we can make a difference."
Mission-Driven Collaborations
In line with their mission to uplift grassroots organizations, SixDegrees.org forged meaningful connections with various nonprofit groups in each locale where the kits were assembled. This approach guarantees that the kits directly reach local neighbors who are in need. The delivery of BKxKB kits empowers network partner organizations to allocate resources effectively while addressing the immediate needs of their clients. Each partner organization aligns its mission with one or more of SixDegrees.org's key pillars, including youth empowerment, justice and equality, sustainable environments, and addressing emergent issues.
