Ben's Bells Project Announces Girls Night Out

From Ben's Bells:

Ben's Bells Project has announced its Girls Night Out event on Thursday, June 9, 7:30-9:30 p.m., with guest speaker Jeannette Maré, founder of Ben’s Bells. Members of the public are invited to support Ben’s Bells while enjoying their group of friends or mingling to meet new people. This monthly event allows for the discovery of Ben's Bells's background story and mission while learning about kindness education programming.

Attendees will have the opportunity to paint kindness coins or beads to be used to create future bells. No artistic ability is required. Light refreshments will be served served, and participants are welcome to bring their own beverages. Raffle prizes will be available for claim. Registration is $30, and seating is open, so early arrival is encouraged.

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.
