Kindness Ball Tour Begins

One Ball. Countless Acts. A Journey of Heart Across America.

The Team Chase Foundation proudly launched the Kindness Ball Tour, a powerful movement aimed at spreading Chase Soares’s legacy of kindness across the United States—one pass, one act, and one state at a time.

With the ball as a symbol of unity, hope, and compassion, the tour began its journey to inspire communities, uplift strangers, and remind us all that kindness is a language everyone understands.

Tour Overview

The Kindness Ball kicked off its multi-state tour with a mission: to travel across the country, encouraging people to commit random acts of kindness and share their stories as the ball made its way from one caring hand to the next.

• Visited 8 states (and counting!)
• Warmly embraced in every city and community
• Shared stories, hugs, and impact in person and online
• Goal: Inspire 1,000+ acts of kindness as the ball travels

Each stop became a new chapter in a living tribute to Chase—a young man remembered for always choosing kindness, connection, and joy.

What Happens at Each Stop:

• The Kindness Ball is delivered to a new recipient (student, athlete, family, or leader).
• They complete a kindness mission of their choice.
• Stories are captured through photos, videos, and journal entries.
• The ball is then passed to the next state, continuing the chain of compassion.

Participants scan a QR code on the ball to share their story and keep the ripple effect alive. Each act is recorded and tracked through the foundation’s growing map of kindness.

Why It Matters:

The Kindness Ball is more than a basketball. It’s a movement powered by people, inspired by Chase’s unwavering belief in helping others, lifting spirits, and building bridges through love and kindness.

“This ball is bouncing across America—and with every bounce, Chase’s light reaches farther.”
– The Team Chase Foundation
