Founded in 1999, SACK empowers youth with kindness, empathy, and connection.
SACK was founded by Don and Shirley Zink after the tragic loss of their son, who endured silent bullying and battled depression. Their experience transformed into a powerful mission: to ensure no other child suffers in silence.
"Every child deserves to grow up in an environment filled with kindness, empathy, and hope."
Today, SACK channels that love into programs that prevent bullying and youth suicide by promoting connection and positive action.

Learn MoreWe've reimagined the school fundraiser. Instead of running laps, students complete daily kindness missions for two weeks. They journal their reflections, earn points for their team, win prizes, and raise crucial funds for their school.
This gamified platform makes giving back fun and impactful. It builds character, fosters empathy, and creates a positive school culture, all while being a more effective fundraiser. Schools keep more funds, and kids learn invaluable life lessons.
Launched in Eastvale, CA, our annual carnival is a vibrant celebration of community and kindness. With over 40 vendors and 900 attendees in its first year, it's a day of pure joy and connection for families.
The event features live Kindness Games, unique disability empathy experiences, team-building challenges, crafts, a kids' writing contest, and amazing food and entertainment. It’s a powerful, tangible way to see kindness in action and strengthen community bonds.
This interactive, app-driven leadership club is designed specifically for 7th–12th graders. Level Up Live! gives teens a platform to find their voice and build confidence. Student speakers, known as "Igniters," deliver 90-second speeches on topics of positive impact.
A "Catalyst" panel of peers and community leaders provides constructive feedback, and the audience votes for the most impactful message. It’s a dynamic format that builds public speaking skills, resilience, and peer engagement, with season-long leaderboards tracking progress and culminating in an awards ceremony.
