The Foundation

When we lost Josh, we were all so sad. Many people came forward with amazing stories of Josh. When you have a child, you as a parent know how special they are.

But when a whole community steps up to support and remind you of his unique brand of kindness, you really start to recognize that others knew about his enormous heart as well. Josh was always doing something kind for someone else. We believe that when he was kind to others, seeing how it made them feel, it inspired him to pour out more kindness. It was a necessity to him. And when a person would say “thank you” to him, it filled him so full, that it would make his day. This is how and why we came up with The Josh Stevens Foundation and the Kindness Card. It’s a simple way to “catch” a child and let them know that their genuine kindness can change the world. Our hope is that children being “caught” will be inspired to be more kind, more often.

The Josh Stevens Foundation has partnered with schools across the nation! Our hope is to spread awareness about The Josh Stevens Foundation and its goal of recognizing and rewarding a child’s heartfelt kind act. We began with Paseo Verde Little League because this was where Josh played baseball for six years. As awareness spreads and the Kindness Revolution stretches, we have continued our program now with many schools… elementary, middle and high schools and more and more organizations are embracing our simple message of spreading kindness.

The Foundation has created the “You’ve Been Caught Being Kind” kindness cards. These cards are presented to a child “caught” being kind by a member of the “Kindness Patrol.” The card includes a poem about the importance of their kind act, Josh’s inspirational story, and a silicone bracelet that can only be worn by those who have been “caught” being kind!

The purpose of The Josh Stevens Foundation and the kindness card is to remind children that there is a whole wide world in need of more acts of kindness. We want children to know that people really do appreciate their kind actions, even though most times they go unnoticed.

People involved in The Josh Stevens Foundation have reported liking the ease of our program. It’s simple, just “catch” kids being kind!
