The mission of Ben's Bells is to inspire, educate and motivate people to realize the impact of intentional kindness and to empower individuals to act according to that awareness, thereby strengthening ourselves, our relationships and our communities.

Ben’s Bells Project was founded in 2003 after the sudden death of Jeannette Maré’s 2-year old son, Ben. The simple, everyday acts of kindness following his death helped Maré survive and begin to heal. She was inspired to establish the Ben’s Bells Project as a way to recognize and continue the kindness shown to her. On the first anniversary of Ben’s death, 400 bells were hung in public places for strangers to find. To date, more than 47,000 bells have been hung in Tucson and beyond. In addition to bell distributions, Ben’s Bells Project provides kindness education programming for more than 300 schools, organizations and businesses.

Further information is available through the Ben's Bells Project website.
