Every child here in our community deserves to be seen, their dreams assisted and their goals encouraged.
Shane's Kindness is dedicated to the legacy of Shane Halligan, as a celebration of his life and to honor who he would have become. Shane was a member of STMS Drama Association. He had a love and passion for the theatrical arts. Shane’s parents John and Donna, along with his siblings Kara and Chris, started Shane’s Kindness following Shane’s death at the age of 16. Shane’s Kindness was founded to heal and give back to a community that had been wounded and traumatized by the sudden loss. Shane’s story isn’t one of a life unlived, rather it’s how his guidance allowed us to help others so that they may know that they are important and they matter. Acts of kindness between one another promote unity, love, compassion, and empathy. Shane’s Kindness is devoted to strengthening our community by spreading acts of kindness, small and large, to help support and encourage those in need.
We’ve helped Springfield residents help others in their community for 16 years, following Shane’s inspiration to make a difference in the lives of at-risk students and their families. Since our founding, thanks to the generosity of those in our community and beyond, we’ve distributed more than $450,000 across our community. We want to ensure that every child, every family, is supported in their time of need. We want every individual to know they are important, they are vital to our community and they are loved.
Springfield helping Springfield. Your acts of kindness foster community and effect change right here at home. The best example we can set for our children is to show them love, compassion, and kindness for each other. We’re all in this together.
