We're rallying good people around a great cause— spreading smiles to kids in need! Thanks to big-hearted people like you, the Life is good Kids Foundation is providing increasing levels of support to extraordinary charities helping kids who face unfair challenges, including the trauma of violence and poverty.
Here's how you can lend a hand and make a difference!
The morning of each of our major Festivals begins with a high-energy fundraising walk, called the Good Walk for Kids, a family-friendly route chock full ‘o color, music, and enough silliness and surprises around every bend to keep your stride steady and your smile wide.
Your heart will be joyful too, knowing that when you register to walk you are making a world of difference for the most vulnerable children in your local area. Now more than ever, a growing number of children who have been hurt by violence, poverty, and loss need our help.
That's why we have set big fundraising goals for each of these Good Walks. The funds will allow Project Joy, an exceptional nonprofit, to bring its healing play to kids in need in San Francisco, Boston, and St. Louis. In Toronto, funds will support the inspiring work of Children's Wish Foundation of Canada.

Be a part of something unique and rewarding! Life is good® Festivals rally good people around a great cause. These homegrown, inspiring events serve two purposes: to spread good vibes by bringing communities together for good old-fashioned outdoor fun and to fund the Life is good Kids Foundation, established to help children facing unfair challenges.
We still need volunteers for our Festivals in St. Charles, MO and Toronto, Canada!

You'll see more smiles than you can count, and you'll know that you contributed to the ripples of happiness spread all day long. And when all is said and done, we'll have added to the millions of dollars raised to date at Life is good Festivals for our most vulnerable children.
