Gift of giving

The six degrees | Kevin Bacon | TEDxMidwest

Kevin Bacon turned the Six Degrees game connecting him to other Hollywood actors into a game-changing nonprofit aimed at using everyday activities to connect people and causes.

SixDegrees.org was born out of a strong desire to create a lasting positive impact. Kevin Bacon wanted to give back and knew his brand could influence. Over the years, our philanthropic organization has grown from a celebrity experiment into a valuable and rewarding global project. What we’ve discovered along the way is that folks everywhere are looking for a way to feel connected. So, we’re harnessing that power of connection to support grassroots nonprofits and their often-overlooked social missions. Because at the end of the day, we’re all just six degrees from someone who really needs our help, and when we work together, we really can do a great deal of good.
