The Front Door to Our Mission

World Kindness Carnival

The World Kindness Carnival is more than just a single day of fun—it’s the front door to our year-round mission. It’s a moment for families to come together, celebrate, and connect with our shared purpose. But the carnival is just the beginning.

It launches a lasting partnership built on education, prevention, and protecting our children 365 days a year. Join us to experience the joy of kindness in action and help lay the foundation for a safer, more supportive community.

The Gap Nobody Is Addressing

The crisis facing our children is not abstract—it's happening in classrooms, cafeterias, and online spaces right now.

Schools Are Struggling

Underfunded programs, overburdened staff, and limited mental health resources.

Parents Are Uninformed

No clear communication about emerging threats and behavioral warning signs.

Children Are Suffering Silently

Isolated, afraid to speak up, and lacking support systems.

SACK founders Don & Shirley Zink

Born from Love. Built from Loss.

S.A.C.K. was created with a singular, urgent mission: to protect and uplift children when they need it most. 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.

"Because kindness is not optional - it saves lives."

We stand at the intersection of prevention and action, working tirelessly to create environments where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. Today, SACK channels that love into programs that prevent bullying and youth suicide by promoting connection and positive action.

Corporate Partnerships

Corporate sponsors don't just write checks-they become official Kindness Partners, aligning their brand with the most important cause in any community: protecting children and building a culture of compassion.
