Cheer Bags®

We proudly support our community through our Cheer Bag Program®, which is designed to brighten someone’s day with a small, random act of kindness. Cheer Bags are customized by age and filled with essential mental health tools and resources. You can also nominate someone who may be going through a tough time—whether it’s a mental health crisis, or another significant life event— a Cheer Bag will help uplift and encourage them. Together, let’s spread positivity and support to those who need it most!

Coming Soon

Our School Cheer Bag Program is a wonderful way to support our community and spread kindness! 🎉 Schools can request up to 30 customized Cheer Bags that are designed to brighten someone’s day through small, random acts of kindness. Each bag, tailored by age, includes mental health tools and resources to help students. While each Cheer Bag costs $25, we are excited to donate up to 30 Cheer Bags at no cost to schools, ensuring that financial constraints don’t hinder access to these valuable resources. We invite schools to consider donating to help cover the cost through fundraisers like Hats for Change or PTO funding, since providing 30 Cheer Bags costs us approximately $750. Simply fill out the form below to get started on bringing Cheer Bags to your school! 💚

Host a Cheer Bag Packing Event

Join us for an uplifting and heartwarming Cheer Bag Packing Event, where members of your group, club, church, or organization can come together to spread kindness and support within the community! Hosted by Thumbs Up, this event is a fantastic opportunity for collaboration and camaraderie as we assemble Cheer Bags filled with thoughtful items designed to brighten someone’s day.

We offer the flexibility to host on-site Cheer Bag packing events, bringing the joy of giving directly to your location. We have successfully partnered with corporations such as Home Depot, Cretex, Target, and Sportech, showcasing how organizations can come together to make a meaningful impact.

In this engaging event, all supplies are conveniently ordered and provided by Thumbs Up, allowing you to focus on the fun of packing and personalizing each bag. Participants will join hands to fill the bags with essential mental health tools and resources tailored to specific age groups—ensuring each recipient feels valued and understood.

The organization hosting the event will contribute by covering the cost of the contents as a form of donation, further extending its mission of kindness and community support. Through our nomination form available on our website, we distribute thousands of Cheer Bags to individuals in need, partnering with school districts and counseling offices to ensure that help reaches those who need it most.

Get ready for a day of creativity, teamwork, and generosity! Together, we can make a significant impact, and uplift lives through small, random acts of kindness. Join us in making a difference—one Cheer Bag at a time!
