The Be Kind People Project® is proud to announce FULL CIRCLE 2025, its annual signature fundraiser, will take place on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at the renowned ASU Gammage Theater. This inspirational evening will recognize extraordinary community leaders, celebrate kindness in action, showcase the heart and soul of the program’s success with performances by THE BE KIND CREW and raise vital funds to provide character education programs that empower Arizona’s students, educators, schools, and families.

This year’s distinguished BE KIND Community Impact Award will be presented to Erika and Russ Dickey, beloved philanthropists and tireless advocates for the arts, youth, wellness, and innovation. Their longstanding commitment to uplifting the community exemplifies the values at the heart of The Be Kind People Project.
