Ben's Bells

Your donation TODAY at https://lnkd.in/g2vHPrVk inspires beautiful visual reminders of kindness throughout our community. HighWire’s owner Nick Wayne has always advocated for kindness. He generously hosts Ben’s Bells end of summer celebration each year and has donated one-of-a-kind cocktails to indulge in at Celebration of Kindness. Nick has dreamed of having a Ben’s Bells mural and with the expansion of HighWire’s new event space, that dream is becoming a reality. With the support of the community, these beautiful visual reminders of kindness are found all over the state of Arizona. Many studies show that visual cues such as Ben’s Bells murals act as reminders of shared values and help promote positive action.

Your donations to Ben’s Bells at https://lnkd.in/g2vHPrVk creates the opportunity for staff to develop educational resources that are shared free of charge all over the world. Ben’s Bells collaborated with the University of Arizona’s students to spread the word of kindness. Together we wrote just under 100 Kind Notes that were shared all over Norton School of Human Ecology. Students shared, “The Kind Notes were very heartfelt and people wrote a lot on them! We got to pass the notes out to the professors, who were all very thankful. None of them knew that we were doing this project so we caught them by surprise! Many of the professors said that the notes made their whole day. One shared that they were having a bad day and that our notes made a difference. I loved being a part of this project.” Ben’s Bells offers Tools for Kindness free on our website. You can download different tools and activities that help incorporate kindness into your everyday life. With every act of kindness, you’re contributing to a lasting culture of kindness in our community.

Your donations provide the support needed to create a kindness curriculum for all ages! Lorri from R&A CPAs shared, “We LOVE being Kind Colleagues! We have created a kindness chain with the templates provided by the Kind Colleagues program. It hangs at the front desk where everyone can see it daily as they walk in and out of the building. What started as chain links among colleagues became a statement of our commitment to kindness to our clients as well, and each day clients come in and ask about what it means. We have had at least 10 clients write links and add to our chain—some about our employees that they work with, and some which are just special to them. We LOVE that this chain is a constant reminder of the positive power of kindness internally and externally! Overall, there is a definite awareness in our team members about kindness and its value thanks to the Kind Colleagues program.” Ben’s Bells stays up-to-date on the latest research and is continuously evolving our educational materials. Your donation at https://lnkd.in/g2vHPrVk allows us to continue developing and offering kindness education resources that can help transform an organization’s culture.

Your donation today allows Ben’s Bells to continue to highlight the kindness found within our community creating a ripple effect of kind behavior. Ben’s Bells honors kind individuals each week by Belling them. A very special nominee comes from the Karuna Horse Rescue in Tucson, Arizona. “Candace awakens at the crack of dawn every day to prepare meals that are filled with individual medicine and/or supplements for each horse. Some of these horses have needs that include breathing treatments, special eye care to prevent progressing blindness, special-fitting booties that address chronic foot issues, and other degenerative diseases. Candace and her husband Paul also use their financial resources over and over, never wavering when a horse has to have specialty care. This is a 24/7 commitment. This is her private residence, and at any moment a horse may need her care and boundless loving support for any number of issues. There are no harnesses, no saddles, and no riding these magnificent animals. They are treated with respect and dignity to live out their days finally knowing the capacity of the human heart and how capable one human being can be to change their world into something very special,” says Susan Nichols. Learning about kind acts happening all around you encourages the expression of gratitude, which is itself an important form of kindness. Your donation at https://lnkd.in/gGiFyyai will continue the ripple effect of kindness.

Your support today helps Ben’s Bells provide these opportunities and build partnerships that make an even bigger impact in our community! ADP has made a deep commitment to a Kind Arizona by collaborating with Ben's Bells to provide kindness education for 1,942 students at five schools in Tucson, and an additional 2,054 students at four schools in Phoenix. Beyond investing in local schools, ADP also helped create the original Ben’s Bells Pride ornament. Employees from the Tempe and Tucson teams worked together to design, glaze, and fund the ornament, benefiting and raising awareness for local LGBTQIA+ programs and organizations. Join ADP in investing in a Kind Arizona TODAY at https://lnkd.in/gGiFyyai

Your donation today will ensure Ben’s Bells educational materials remain free to Arizona schools. English-Language Learners (ELLs) and Kindness Club members at Billy Lane Lauffer Middle School were excited to be visited by Jeannette Maré on March 6, 2024. Maré spoke about the science of kindness and its effects in helping promote a healthier society; one that works and grows together. Students now understand even better than before the importance of being “kindness influencers” for the people around them — at school and within their community. Creating a culture of kindness has a life-long influence on students. Your support funds Ben’s Bells education programs like Kind Campus which is free for any school to access as they work to build a Kind Arizona. Donate now at https://lnkd.in/gGiFyyai
