The Fredette Family Foundation was formed in 2011 by former BYU Basketball star, and National College Basketball Player of the Year, Jimmer Fredette. The mission of the Fredette Family Foundation is to strengthen families and youth. Programs include the Jimmerosity Positive Peer Pressure Program (P4) which helps youth understand the tremendous importance of developing strong moral character. P4 teaches youth to carefully consider the impact their current decisions will have on their own future and the future of many of their classmates. Students that understand and internalize the principles of kindness, respect, tolerance, empathy, and compassion will never even think of bullying or being unkind to anyone.

Provo Kindness culminated it's first year in the schools with a Kindness Rally on April 27, 2015.
Students marched onto the track in a kindness chain parade as emcee Lisa Valentine Clark read specific acts of kindness from the chains. The chains just kept coming, and it was very impactful to see how these small acts can make a huge difference put together! Additionally, six students spoke about specific things they have done or witnessed that year that made a big difference. Guest speaker Jessie Funk inspired the audience with specific techniques to outsmart a bully. |
