Hey, welcome to the show everybody.
00:00:57.060 --> 00:00:59.988
This is so cool.
00:00:59.988 --> 00:01:03.408
This is a cool story and I'm sure you'll agree once you hear it.
00:01:03.408 --> 00:01:11.225
My guest today is Connor Wright, and Connor did something Well.
00:01:11.225 --> 00:01:13.569
First of all, hi, connor, hi, thanks for having me.
00:01:14.331 --> 00:01:14.891
You're welcome.
00:01:14.891 --> 00:01:16.174
Thanks for being here.
00:01:16.174 --> 00:01:18.087
It's a great, it's an honor really.
00:01:18.087 --> 00:01:31.825
You did something and I'm sure you get this all the time right and I'm sure you get this all the time right but you were 12 years old when you started this.
00:01:31.825 --> 00:01:35.891
This um amazing, and it wasn't it wasn't a non-profit then.
00:01:35.891 --> 00:01:48.792
But when you started it, it was the middle of the pandemic and you said what I want to bring joy to people Exactly.
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:53.823
So you started now was it always called Connor's Kindness Project?
00:01:53.823 --> 00:02:02.579
Yeah, so originally when we were first doing our branding that's kind of after we did a lot of our projects we named it Connor's Kindness Project.
00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:05.786
But originally, like you said, it wasn't really a nonprofit.
00:02:05.786 --> 00:02:23.768
It was more just me and some of my family members specifically my grandmother doing projects throughout the community and that was things like doing baskets for nurses and helping out the police department and fire department and doing some work with some other non-profits, and that was before everything really started.
00:02:23.768 --> 00:02:30.361
And then, through doing that, we kind of evolved into that real nonprofit and that's when we sort of branded as Connors Counties Project.
00:02:31.163 --> 00:02:31.525
Cool.
00:02:31.525 --> 00:02:38.947
So now, when you first started, this was just for kids, right For other kids, because it was the pandemic.
00:02:39.187 --> 00:02:40.310
It was mostly kids.
00:02:40.310 --> 00:02:49.532
That being said, we did do some other things with some adults, like I said, nurses and the fire and police departments in our local community, but it was mostly kids.
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.584
Okay, and what were the?
00:02:52.584 --> 00:02:54.268
I've seen pictures of them.
00:02:54.268 --> 00:02:56.873
It was like little boxes, right?
00:02:58.721 --> 00:03:01.449
The first thing that we ever did was our COVID care package.
00:03:01.449 --> 00:03:03.687
It was a little bag yellow bag with red stickers that said COVID care package.
00:03:03.687 --> 00:03:14.786
And it was a little bag yellow bag with red stickers that said COVID care package, and just filled with little toys nothing too crazy and we would drive around delivering those to kids that were stuck at home quarantining.
00:03:14.786 --> 00:03:19.646
And that was just really the first thing that we did and marked the start of our non-profit.
00:03:19.646 --> 00:03:21.780
But it's pretty cool how far we've come.
00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:26.223
Looking at those and now looking at our kindness kits, it's quite a big difference.
00:03:26.924 --> 00:03:28.104
Yeah, it's crazy.
00:03:28.104 --> 00:03:39.254
I mean, in four years you went from a kid 12-year-old kid making COVID care packages to like an official nonprofit.
00:03:39.254 --> 00:03:41.496
Do you ever look back on it and go?
00:03:41.836 --> 00:03:44.199
wow, I do.
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.288
All the time I'm like how did we end up with this?
00:03:46.288 --> 00:03:57.764
I mean, like you said, I was really young 12, and obviously couldn't have done it without the people around us like my grandmother and my mom helping out, and now all of our board members and volunteers, but we never even them.
00:03:57.764 --> 00:04:01.812
We never expect this to turn into something like we have now.
00:04:01.812 --> 00:04:10.388
And, like I said, it was just two, two projects a month, maybe, maybe one, just doing what we could help our community.
00:04:10.388 --> 00:04:19.603
Um, and and we really liked what we were doing and doing that work with some other non-profits really inspired us to do something that we could call our own.
00:04:19.925 --> 00:04:28.803
And here we are, so wow definitely all just happened pretty fast and so definitely, I'm sorry, go ahead no, it's definitely like something.
00:04:28.803 --> 00:04:32.091
I look back and say, wow, yeah for sure.
00:04:32.952 --> 00:04:40.694
Um so how did you find these kids that were like stuck in quarantine and you thought could need some?
00:04:41.461 --> 00:04:53.406
need a little pick me up yeah, after the point where we decided we were going to do something and came up with the cove care package, it was just my mom and my grandmother's like facebook accounts, just

reaching out.
00:04:53.406 --> 00:04:54.791
We're making these baskets.
00:04:54.791 --> 00:05:01.851
Any kids are stocking home quarantine and you think this might, you know, help them, help, make them enjoy their time a little better.
00:05:01.851 --> 00:05:10.086
And in such a tough situation for some kids, we um, we asked them to reach out to us and we would just deliver them.
00:05:10.086 --> 00:05:18.786
And that was mostly in our town to start and we went a couple towns over, but it was a really small project, but we were just trying to do what we could.
00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:24.244
Yeah, yeah, oh for sure, and you would pack these little packages.
00:05:24.244 --> 00:05:25.605
Yeah, yeah, oh for sure, and you would pack these little packages.
00:05:25.605 --> 00:05:36.577
I saw a news report they did on you, your local CBS affiliate there, and there was like an Etch-A-Sketch, like little tiny Etch-A-Sketches and snacks and stuff.
00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:39.949
Yeah, we did have the COVID care package.
00:05:39.949 --> 00:05:42.507
I don't think they had the Etch-A-Sketch.
00:05:42.507 --> 00:05:43.766
That's more of our kindness kit.
00:05:43.766 --> 00:05:56.547
They featured more like just trinkets and fidget toys and just something that might help a distracted kid and I think maybe there's a couple times where we did drop off like some candy maybe to kids on it.
00:05:56.547 --> 00:06:03.165
But um, it was definitely definitely a lot smaller than our kindness kits and I'm sure I'll talk more about that shortly.
00:06:04.108 --> 00:06:04.870
I'm sure we will.
00:06:04.870 --> 00:06:10.062
So did you fund this all?
00:06:10.942 --> 00:06:11.302
yourself.
00:06:11.302 --> 00:06:13.944
It was all self-funded me and my family.
00:06:13.944 --> 00:06:27.076
My grandmother did have, before the pandemic, a children's yoga business and she implemented a lot of crafts and activities to her classes, so she had a lot of stuff laying around that we could use.
00:06:27.076 --> 00:06:39.346
So it mostly came out of that to start, and then it was us buying small, nothing too expensive, but it was out of pocket.
00:06:39.346 --> 00:06:47.127
Yeah, we would just buy items from anywhere we could and put them together.
00:06:47.247 --> 00:06:50.807
So, yeah, this is, and this is so cool.
00:06:50.807 --> 00:06:53.012
So this was kind of a family thing, right?
00:06:53.012 --> 00:07:00.108
Yeah, and I don't know any 12 year olds, I don't think that would go.
00:07:00.108 --> 00:07:03.074
Hey, you know there's some kids that need cheering up.
00:07:03.074 --> 00:07:04.240
I'm gonna take care of that.
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.524
But I mean you must have had a lot of support from your family.
00:07:08.524 --> 00:07:09.045
It must be.
00:07:09.045 --> 00:07:13.170
Your family must be big into giving back.
00:07:13.771 --> 00:07:17.434
Yeah, definitely From a young age I've always been giving back.
00:07:17.434 --> 00:07:19.576
My mom is really focused on that.
00:07:19.576 --> 00:07:37.636
I did a lot of volunteering at a young age with her and when the pandemic came around I noticed a lot of kids needed help and having that background in volunteering and community service is kind of what gave me that option to help others.
00:07:38.216 --> 00:07:41.692
Oh for sure, I say that a lot, I just noticed it.
00:07:41.692 --> 00:07:44.060
I say that a lot, I just noticed it.
00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:50.992
So the pandemic kind of wraps up and you keep going with this thing.
00:07:50.992 --> 00:07:52.754
Talk to me about some of the other.
00:07:52.754 --> 00:07:59.069
I mean, you were talking about the nurses and the fire Was it the fire department and the police department.
00:07:59.350 --> 00:08:15.130
You guys were doing yeah, how did that just snowball into something bigger, or yeah, it kind of like, like I said it was, it was a lot based on, oh, let's do one or two projects a month.
00:08:15.130 --> 00:08:17.216
I'm really upset in that, but that's how we started.
00:08:17.216 --> 00:08:22.315
And then we were like, oh, we're doing stuff in our community, it's great, but can we make this a little bigger?
00:08:22.315 --> 00:08:48.144
So we researched some other non-profits and picked out two to help one katie's closet and the other birthday wishes and seeing what they were doing and the other Birthday Wishes and seeing what they were doing and the impact they were having on their community, after starting from something really small and growing to something that was having massive effects on the community and really helping a lot of people, that's what really inspired us and kind of snowballed us into creating our nonprofit.
00:08:48.144 --> 00:08:55.831
And from there that was the point we were like, oh, it would be really cool to start something like this and do something that we could call our own.
00:08:57.285 --> 00:08:58.090
Oh yeah, I'll bet.
00:08:58.090 --> 00:09:08.312
And so now, okay, because there are several pieces to this to Connor's Kindness Project.
00:09:08.312 --> 00:09:10.437
It just rolls off the tongue pieces to this to connor's con.
00:09:10.437 --> 00:09:11.181
I almost screwed that up.
00:09:11.181 --> 00:09:14.389
Connor's kindness project just rolls off the tongue.
00:09:14.389 --> 00:09:21.144
Um, so there's the, the kindness package, right, and that's does that?
00:09:21.144 --> 00:09:23.450
Where does that go out to anybody that needs it, or?
00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:24.953
ever kindness kit that we.
00:09:24.953 --> 00:09:27.953
That was the first thing we came up with and we've stuck with that.
00:09:27.953 --> 00:09:45.889
It's it's our red box filled with all sorts of toys, fidget toys, um, a couple like kind of educational fun stuff, um, and a bunch of just just toys that kids would like to play with and might distract them and and that goes out to kids in hospitals and shelters all around new england.
00:09:45.889 --> 00:09:53.312
We're actually in about 50 locations
and have done pretty much 10,000 of them so far in about two and a half years.
00:09:54.666 --> 00:09:55.910
Wow, 10,000?
00:09:55.910 --> 00:09:56.634
10,000.
00:09:56.634 --> 00:10:02.365
Holy crap, yeah, wow, okay.
00:10:02.365 --> 00:10:04.653
So that's one aspect of it.
00:10:04.653 --> 00:10:07.304
What are some of the other aspects of the project?
00:10:07.505 --> 00:10:07.765
Yeah.
00:10:07.765 --> 00:10:13.990
So it was the the kindness kids going well and all, but we wanted to do more.
00:10:13.990 --> 00:10:18.988
We wanted to expand our reach and develop some other branches to our non-profit.
00:10:18.988 --> 00:10:46.490
So, just kind of discussing with our, with our board members and, and me and my grandmother and my mom, um, we came up with the idea of of a kids kindness club and, like I said, I started having a background in community service and my mom guiding me to help other people and I started from, you know, my parents teaching me, and I really had a group of supporters that guided me in the right way and allowed me to start something similar.
00:10:46.551 --> 00:10:51.312
So we were like, if that's how I started, what if we taught kids about community service?
00:10:51.312 --> 00:10:53.669
Have them do some acts.
00:10:53.669 --> 00:10:57.698
Maybe that will inspire kids to do more and be better members of their community.
00:10:57.698 --> 00:11:13.950
So we came up with the idea of the Kids Kindness Club in really young kids, elementary school age, and what we're doing now is we go into the schools, have an assembly, talk to them about what we do, what, what does it mean to be kind?
00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:30.631
Um, give them some examples of some kind acts and we have them complete 20 or 30 in about a month, a month or two, so, and then after we'll give them a certificate of kindness and some stickers and we give the school some stuff as well for participating.
00:11:30.631 --> 00:11:49.506
But just, I think having these kids do this and encouraging them and and showing them the way, like showing them how they can be better members of the community, one of the things that we believe is kind of spreads like a ripple effect, so if we do that then it will kind of snowball like like what happened with us.
00:11:51.610 --> 00:11:53.893
You're just like creating a whole new generation of you.
00:11:54.333 --> 00:11:55.014
Exactly.
00:11:55.014 --> 00:11:59.561
Not exactly what we're trying to do, but we're trying to just Well, yeah, I know.
00:12:07.664 --> 00:12:15.791
But I mean when these kids I think, and it's just my opinion, which that and four bucks will buy you a cup of coffee, when these kids receive that kindness, right, that stays with them.
00:12:16.871 --> 00:12:17.231
Exactly.
00:12:18.293 --> 00:12:28.440
And they will grow up, hopefully, and have kids of their own maybe, and they'll pass that lesson on to them.
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.562
And it's just you're right, though it does ripple.
00:12:32.784 --> 00:12:34.268
Yeah, I mean like we think.
00:12:34.268 --> 00:12:41.211
Well, I know that if you implement kindness into your life at a young age, it will definitely stay and that's what happened with me.
00:12:41.211 --> 00:13:01.957
So just showing them the way at a young age, when they really don't know anything and they're still young members of society, and teaching them how to be good members and help out their community and be nice to all their classmates and teachers and parents, that will stay with them and ripple into generations to come.
00:13:02.826 --> 00:13:05.335
Yeah, for sure, I did it again.
00:13:05.335 --> 00:13:07.567
Get it again.
00:13:07.567 --> 00:13:10.951
So have you.
00:13:10.951 --> 00:13:14.956
And it's so funny to listen because you're what?
00:13:14.956 --> 00:13:16.639
15, almost 16 right now.
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:17.681
Yeah, 15.
00:13:20.354 --> 00:13:26.307
Okay and you go yeah, I've got board members.
00:13:26.307 --> 00:13:33.413
It's like I mean, you've got an entire staff not working for you, working with you to make this happen.
00:13:33.413 --> 00:13:38.136
Did you ever see that happening when you first came up with the idea?
00:13:38.817 --> 00:13:49.860
No, like I said, to start, there was no way, like this was a small thing that we were doing, and then you know, it kind of got going and we're going to start something.
00:13:49.860 --> 00:14:05.871
So I kind of saw it coming, but not having, like my grandmother being a full-time employee as the executive director, a group of um, awesome board members and the amount of volunteers that we have, it's just never, never saw it happening, and definitely not.
00:14:06.232 --> 00:14:12.692
Maybe in in while, but not in two years, right, because we've grown quite a lot in two years.
00:14:12.692 --> 00:14:13.495
It's crazy.
00:14:14.546 --> 00:14:16.571
So do any of your friends from school go.
00:14:16.571 --> 00:14:18.174
Hey, how can I get on in on that?
00:14:18.856 --> 00:14:20.951
Yeah, yeah, I've had a couple kids reach out.
00:14:20.951 --> 00:14:26.889
Now I'm a sophomore so we're starting to think more about colleges and kids need hours.
00:14:26.889 --> 00:14:33.994
So my friends know that I do this and they're like, oh, let me help out, it'll be good.
00:14:33.994 --> 00:14:41.831
But yeah, that's a lot of our volunteers are teens looking for hours and they're very helpful to us so we appreciate them.
00:14:42.533 --> 00:14:43.296
Yeah, for sure.
00:14:43.296 --> 00:14:47.575
And well, I mean, this is going to look awesome on a college application.
00:14:47.575 --> 00:14:52.471
I'm just saying yeah, it helps, and you're a hockey player, right?
00:14:52.825 --> 00:14:54.091
Yeah, I play hockey too.
00:14:55.284 --> 00:14:57.993
You know the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
00:14:57.993 --> 00:15:00.047
The University of Minnesota always has this.
00:15:00.047 --> 00:15:03.937
It seems like they've got this rivalry with Boston College.
00:15:03.937 -->
00:15:06.370
It's like they're always in the Frozen Four.
00:15:07.455 --> 00:15:07.775
Yeah.
00:15:09.027 --> 00:15:10.131
Maybe you'll play here someday.
00:15:10.131 --> 00:15:17.121
I mean not for Minnesota, but you know, because you're back East, yeah.
00:15:17.121 --> 00:15:32.200
So now talk to me a little bit about your partnerships with these other organizations, because you've really gotten involved with some amazing Duncan Joy, for example.
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.452
How did all that come about?
00:15:36.585 --> 00:15:47.975
Yeah, duncan's a big supporter and we've built a load of connections to this point, so I think we connected with Duncan.
00:15:47.975 --> 00:15:53.456
Just asking them I think it was through a grant, oh sure.
00:15:53.456 --> 00:15:57.696
And they have been great supporters ever since.
00:15:57.696 --> 00:16:02.431
They give us gift cards for our essentials kits that we put in there, so they're awesome.
00:16:02.431 --> 00:16:04.231
And then also Five Below.
00:16:04.231 --> 00:16:08.355
Actually, originally that's kind of how we got started.
00:16:08.355 --> 00:16:15.035
We were buying Five Below products, so it's cool to think that now we're getting like a five below grant and they're a big supporter of us.
00:16:15.056 --> 00:16:16.918
So it's cool, nice, and there was.
00:16:16.918 --> 00:16:23.735
There was a huge one for you right, it was the Myra Craft Charitable Foundation.
00:16:23.735 --> 00:16:24.576
Talk about that one.
00:16:24.705 --> 00:16:26.893
I did get an award recently for Myra Craft.
00:16:26.893 --> 00:16:29.913
I got nominated for that.
00:16:29.913 --> 00:16:36.616
Actually, I was one of 26 that got the award from the greater Boston area.
00:16:36.616 --> 00:16:38.038
That was pretty cool.
00:16:38.038 --> 00:16:40.153
We got to go to the Zolot Stadium and have a ceremony.
00:16:40.153 --> 00:16:42.253
I was actually the youngest one there.
00:16:42.253 --> 00:16:44.562
It was pretty cool just getting honored to go to Gillette Stadium and have a ceremony.
00:16:44.562 --> 00:16:47.327
I was actually the youngest one there, so it was pretty cool just getting honored for something that I've done.
00:16:47.347 --> 00:16:48.669
Have you ever been to a patch game?
00:16:48.669 --> 00:16:50.192
Have you been to Gillette Stadium?
00:16:50.712 --> 00:16:51.573
A couple times yeah.
00:16:52.355 --> 00:16:55.360
Okay, but you were like on the field or what.
00:16:56.225 --> 00:16:59.649
I wasn't on the field, I was like up in the private club area.
00:16:59.649 --> 00:17:03.657
It was nice Mr Kraft was there so I got to meet him.
00:17:04.218 --> 00:17:05.460
Oh was he Wow.
00:17:06.944 --> 00:17:08.147
Yeah, he's a great guy.
00:17:08.208 --> 00:17:10.634
Was Brady still playing there when that?
00:17:10.653 --> 00:17:10.934
happened.
00:17:10.934 --> 00:17:11.616
No, it was this year.
00:17:13.926 --> 00:17:15.088
This was this past year.
00:17:15.088 --> 00:17:20.317
I was going to say, with the
Duncan Project, did you get to meet Ben Affleck?
00:17:20.979 --> 00:17:21.179
No.
00:17:25.925 --> 00:17:26.346
Damn it, oh well.
00:17:26.346 --> 00:17:28.071
Project um did you get to meet ben affleck?
00:17:28.071 --> 00:17:28.553
No damn it, oh well.
00:17:28.553 --> 00:17:31.240
But yeah, I mean all of these foundations, because you make connections right, you guys.
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:35.633
Your foundation makes connections, these corporate connections, and those are really valuable to you guys.
00:17:35.653 --> 00:17:43.137
that's what it's all about building these connections, getting the word out there and getting more donations so we can do more yeah.
00:17:44.025 --> 00:17:44.826
That's all about it.
00:17:44.826 --> 00:17:49.798
So any big plans for the future as far as the foundation or the project.
00:17:50.464 --> 00:17:57.834
We always say our big plan is to go national across the countries with our kits and with our kindness club.
00:17:57.834 --> 00:18:08.054
Something that was cool is we actually had a virtual club um assembly and we had a school out in idaho participate in the kindness club.
00:18:08.054 --> 00:18:17.465
So we're branching out that way, um, but it would be cool to to have a sustained impact all around the country, and that's something that's been our goal for a while.
00:18:17.465 --> 00:18:19.627
I don't know when that's going to happen.
00:18:19.627 --> 00:18:23.553
We're going to keep growing at a steady pace, but that'd be it.
00:18:25.134 --> 00:18:27.797
Yeah, dang, it, there I go again.
00:18:27.797 --> 00:18:30.058
Yeah, absolutely.
00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:31.181
There we go.
00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:32.301
There we go.
00:18:32.301 --> 00:18:39.876
Just so amazing and so inspiring.
00:18:39.876 --> 00:18:51.143
Connor, Seriously, I look up to you and I know you probably hear this all the time, but you are a good example for all kids across this country.
00:18:51.143 --> 00:18:53.737

I will say I definitely missed something, oh please.

Yeah, I covered most of it, but if there's anything, if people want to do more research on us and see more, everything is on our website.
00:19:19.843 --> 00:19:27.532

Yeah, any like press we've received is on there.
00:19:30.965 --> 00:19:35.436
So we did a good job with that and if you, if you, want to donate, there is a link there as well.
00:19:35.545 --> 00:19:40.395
