What you’ll do

Gather your team and get ready to play it forward for children in your community! During this fun kit-packing event, you and your colleagues will assemble Happy Hope Buddy kits for hospitalized children.

Happy Hope Buddy Kits are filled with creative activities and basic care items that share hope and joy with children. In addition, each kit includes a special bear for your team members to stuff and assemble, providing the recipient with a new fuzzy friend to love!

This experience will kick off with the Founder and CEO of the organization welcoming your team, providing an overview of the organization's work, and sharing how their efforts will impact children in their communities.

Your team will sort and package kit supplies, color a card, pack supplies, and assemble stuffed animals into the Happy Hope kits. A prepaid label and envelope will be provided to ship completed kits to the receiving partner. Your company may request to donate your kits to a specific location, or the organization will connect you to a nonprofit in your area. All kits are donated to hospitals, shelters, and nonprofits serving children receiving medical care.

This organization connects participating teams with a local beneficiary to receive the completed kits, providing prepaid shipping labels for easy delivery to the receiving partner.

This experience can accommodate remote, in-person, or hybrid teams.
