Like Janis Baron, the visionary founder of Sunday Friends Foundation, we understand that kindness isn’t a passive sentiment; it’s a powerful force for change. For over 30 years, Janis embodied this belief, translating her compassion into transformative action. Her dedication continues to inspire us all.

Following in her footsteps the inaugural Silicon Valley Kindness Award recipients, exemplify the power of kindness in action. They go beyond simply caring – they believe in everyone’s potential for real change.

This year’s awardees are beacons of hope. Each individual, organization, and business has inspired a wave of generosity in our community. By tackling economic instability through volunteering, donating, or raising awareness, they have challenged the idea that a brighter future is out of reach.

Award Categories:

• Business Award: Recognizing a company dedicated to corporate social responsibility in the fight for economic stability.
• Civic Award: Recognizing visionary leaders whose commitment to social justice makes a real difference in the lives of those facing economic hardship.
• Education Award: Honoring an organization empowering families with resources that fight poverty.
• Philanthropist Award: Recognizing individuals showcasing exceptional generosity in tackling economic instability.
• Volunteer Award: Honoring a champion of health equity who dedicates their time to leveling the playing field for everyone’s well-being.

We invite you to celebrate their achievements and network with fellow changemakers after the “Inside Poverty” Panel discussion on August 5th at Adobe World Headquarters in San Jose. Join us in honoring these community heroes!
