ANNOUNCING KEDDFEST 2026
APRIL 22, 2026
KEDDFEST 2026 will be a vibrant celebration of the hard work and heart of young GameChangers - teens who are leading with kindness in their communities. Taking place at Wake Forest University’s Couch Ballpark, this year’s event will bring together students, educators, families and community partners around the theme
“Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies, Healthy Spirits”
KEDDFEST honors youth who are making a difference through compassion, creativity and collaboration.
Join us for a day that recognizes the power of young people to create positive change in their communities!
Our Vision
A society where all races, creeds, income levels and gender identities have equal opportunities
and view the world with hope and endless possibility.
Get In the Game
Is The Start Of A Movement
We are empowering the next generation to be critical thinkers, champions of differences, and real-world change-makers.
We utilize trained facilitators and build safe club environments where young people (aged 13 and over) can discover how to harness their courage and explore the power in understanding race and differences.
Through a playbook of social-justice discussion prompts, activities and community-impact projects, young people strengthen their ability to recognize and change real-world inequities – in life, their community, and society.
