We’re a group of global citizens that span the creative and scientific world, driven by one belief, “Care the Most,” and bound together by the conviction that big events can change the world.
We’re creative. We’re fearless. We’re optimistic. We come from the school of Impossible is Nothing, and we care about our neighbor, our children, our world, our future, and giving back.
“We believe in the power of bold, meaningful, high-visibility actions to positively influence people’s choices.
That’s why we’ve come together to fulfill different missions through big ideas that engage, inspire, delight, and capture the attention of audiences and the media worldwide.”
