I love Kevin Bacon…he’s the kind of guy my daughter would call “all that and a bag of chips.” But Kevin is more than just another celebrity hunk. He’s a great father, husband and the champion of many great causes.
Recently, Kevin was given the Joel Siegel Award by the Broadcast Film Critics Association for his charitable efforts involving his non-profit website SixDegrees.org. This wonderful site
allows people like you & I to contribute and track our favorite
charities online. Kevin created SixDegrees.org to
connect donors and volunteers with the causes that interest them.
Kevin says SixDegrees is about “the idea that we’re all connected as human beings on this planet and
the things that we do to each other and for each other have a ripple
effect…there’s a real kind of six-degrees reality to this planet
right now.”
You can get a SixDegrees Good Card (a gift
card for charity) on Kevin’s site and support your favorite cause, too. You can even Create Your Own
Charity Badge with your name and cause, and it’ll be tracked on the
site…it’s pretty cool so check it out.
There are several partner charities on Kevin’s site, including Network for Good, which has helped bring funds to over
50,000 different nonprofits and created a Volunteer Network of over 250,000 people worldwide.
For more information, watch Kevin’s Bacon’s ivideo on youtube.
Peace & Blessings!

Thank you for this great blog. I love Kevin Bacon, too! And right now he needs us to vote for him. He is competing for $250,000 in grant money from Pepsi. People who register on sixdegrees will be sent good cards so they can donate to the charity of their choice. Thousands of charities will benefit if he wins.
If you are on Facebook, go to the Pepsi Refresh Everything page, become a fan, click on the Celeb Challenge tab and vote. He needs as many people as possible to vote today, tomorrow and Sunday (you can vote once per day). Please check it out and vote…he has such a cool idea!
Oh, and he also has a rockin band…the Bacon Brothers. They are very talented and a blast to see live. You can listen to full songs on their website (baconbros dot come)
Thanks!
