Come be part of it
Events
Our events are loud, warm, and full of children, exactly the way Brayden would have wanted them. You don't need to have known him to show up.
Coming soon
Brayden's Smile Annual Awareness Walk
A morning of walking, sidewalk chalk, bubbles everywhere, dinosaur costumes, and families who understand each other without explaining. All proceeds fund emergency grants for Connecticut families.
- Coming soon in 2027
- Date and location to be announced
Registration opens three months before the walk. Join the newsletter and we'll tell you the moment it does.
Ways to take part
More than one morning a year
Random acts of kindness
Hide little dinosaur toys at a park, drop birthday cake boxes at a food pantry, buy a stranger's coffee. Kindness for anyone, just to spread joy.
Volunteer opportunities
Hide dino toys, pack birthday cake boxes, staff a water station, help a family with yard work, or lend professional skills. Every shift is flexible.
Sponsors & fundraisers
Local businesses, restaurant nights, bake sales, and dress-down days. We'll help you set one up and promote it.
Looking ahead
