Inaugural Kindness Hall of Fame
Kindness is Free, powered by the Boys & Girls Clubs of the West San Gabriel Valley and generously supported by the Skylight Foundation, proudly announced its participation in the 2025 Rose Parade with the induction of its inaugural 2025 Hall of Fame class.
The Kindness is Free Hall of Fame honors local community leaders who are actively making a difference in youth lives. Honorees will also be featured on the Kindness is Free Rose Parade float, spreading a message of compassion and positivity to millions of viewers worldwide on January 1, 2025. This float will showcase how simple acts of kindness can create a positive ripple effect across communities.
