Life is good is spreading smiles from coast to coast this year with 18 different Life is good Festivals happening over the next six months in 13 different states.

 A central feature of many of these good-time summer bashes is the World's Greatest Backyard Athlete competition.

This one-of-a-kind contest features big-hearted men and women smiling their way through a number of non-traditional events, including disc toss, bocce, and watermelon seed spitting.It's also our single largest fundraiser, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for kids in need.

Click the "Get Started" button to either register as an athlete and create your own personal fundraising page.   You can also help our competitors achieve their fundraising goals for kids in need by making a general donation by clicking “donate” above. 

 Please pass the word along to others who enjoy spreading good vibes.

Thanks for making a difference from coast to coast!
