About The Wonder Project Family Campaign
The myFace Summer Kindness Campaign is a fun summer activity that provides families an opportunity to make an impact in their very own communities. Each family will be challenged with the question: What will YOU do to choose kindness. From there, families can identify fun and meaningful ways they can touch the lives of others while also raising money for myFace.
As participants, families will receive a copy of We're all Wonders or 365 Days of Wonder as well as activities and planning sheets. Families will also receive an online fundraising link to personalize and share their kindness plans with others .
How to start:
*After registering, myFace will mail you a copy of your selected Wonder book to read together.
*As a family, talk about what it means to be kind, to show empathy and to have compassion.
*Use the planning activity sheets to come up with your family's "kindness strategy"
*Personalize your family's online fundraising page with details of what your plan is
*Share your link and ask others to support you and myFace in your efforts to choose kind.

Choose kindness this summer and make a BIG difference in the lives of others! The myFace Kindness Campaign is an opportunity for you and your family to take time out of your busy schedule to have meaningful discussion around what it means to be kind and show compassion. You and your family will have the chance to create your very own plan to spread kindness and joy to your friends, family, neighbors, and community.
It's easy to get started:
1. Register and receive a copy of We're all Wonders or 365 Days of Wonder by R.J. Palacio
2. As a family, discuss how simple actions can help create a positive change in the world. What will your simple actions be?
3. Use the activity sheet to establish a family "kindness plan" - what will you do to make an impact in your community and beyond?
4. Set up an online fundraising page and share your commitment with others
5. Challenge friends to join you in making a difference!
Why Join?
More than ever before, choosing kindness is critical to the wellbeing of our children and the health of our communities. As parents and caregivers, it is up to us to promote empathy and kindness and to teach acceptance for those with differences. This summer, the myFace Summer Kindness Campaign, will provide a meaningful activity for children to participate in and see the positive difference that can be made through simple actions.
About myFace
myFace is a non-profit organization dedicated to changing the faces - and transforming the lives - of children and adults with facial differences. For nearly 70 years, myFace has worked with patients and families to provide multi-disciplinary, comprehensive care by funding medical, dental, speech, nutrition and psychosocial services.
myFace arranges complimentary flights through our Southwest Airlines’ Medical Transportation Grant Program and housing for out-of-town families in our myFace apartments to decrease the burden and expense of travel while their loved ones receive treatment.
myFace provides other important services such as access to patient and family support groups, workshops, webinars and networking opportunities that offer guidance, counsel and resources for our patients, families and the greater craniofacial community.
Because facial difference can impact the body and spirit so significantly, we always strive to educate others on the importance of empathy, celebrating uniqueness and always choosing to be kind through our public awareness efforts.
