Hello Huntley!
My name is Joni Downey, I'm the creator and founder of the Characters of Character. A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide a firm foundation for children to establish strong civic values. Meet Behavior Bear, Do'er Duck, Friendship Frog, Healthy Hippo, Manners Monkey, Respectful Rabbit, Responsible Rabbit, Self-Esteem Elephant and Warm-Hearted Walrus.

Joni painted with the Girl Scouts in May at the American Legion Hall where she discussed self-esteem and the girls brought Self-Esteem Elephant to life on canvas! This is where she knew there was such a wonderful presence of Community, a country charm feel and beautiful place to be. This is how this project came into mind, bringing kindness to Huntley. Huntley is the first community that the Characters of Character are reaching out to, if you know of another community that would benefit with such a project, contact Joni here.

The Characters of Character will bring their character Warm-Hearted Walrus to the community to gift at least 100 children the Huntley Is KIND activity kits which reinforce the trait. We would like to gift more, there is no donation to small for this project. Our printing must be submitted at the end of October in order to be printed and gifted the beginning of December. Your word of mouth about this project is also a way to support us. What is included in the Huntley Is KIND box? Click here to learn more.
