On May 16th 2024, Life is Good Chief Creative Optimist John Jacobs visited the Outer Banks and presented for a crowd of more than 200 attendees! The highly successful clothing and lifestyle brand has had a longstanding partnership with Kitty Hawk Kites, and Jacobs’s speech was part of the celebration of KHK’s 50th anniversary!

The $3,000 donation will go towards training Playmakers—caregivers, teachers, and other professionals—who work directly with children affected by trauma. This training equips Playmakers with practical tools to help children heal and grow, ensuring they have the opportunity to enjoy their childhood and reach their full potential.
On Life is Good’s continued partnership with Kitty Hawk Kites and the company’s support in the Playmaker Project, Jacobs added, “We are grateful for this very special long-term partnership with Kitty Hawk Kites, and for what the company does every day to help spread the power of Optimism in a world that needs it more than ever.”
