Barbara’s launches nationwide search for kids who are doing good in their communities

The 2019 Barbara’s Believe in Better Contest builds on the company’s 2017 Kidtrepreneur Search Campaign, which spotlighted extraordinary kids who made the world a better place through their unique ideas and ventures.

The latest initiative will recognize outstanding children who are making a positive impact in their communities – be it a non-profit, charity, school or community project.

“Since conducting our Kidtrepreneur campaign in 2017, we have been blown away by the selfless endeavors of kids across the nation who are truly inspired to make a positive impact in the world,”​ said Michelle Gomez, director of marketing at Barbara’s.

“With Believe in Better, we want to recognize and applaud the work of the next generation and help further their passions and commitments to doing good in their communities.”​

Calling for entries

Parents, teachers, family members or friends over the age of 18 are encouraged to nominate exemplary kids younger than 18 – along with an outline of their ‘do-good’ project – on Barbara’s Facebook page.​​

Five finalists will be selected and the public will be invited to vote for their favorites. Prizes will be awarded to each winner’s project based on the number of votes received.
