Ben’s Bells


If you don’t know Jeannette Mare and Dean Packard and their family…you should. They are the creators of the Ben’s Bells Project in honor of their son, Ben, who died suddenly of Croup, before his third birthday. The Ben’s Bells project promotes intentional kindness to help make the world a better place by making and distributing beautiful handmade bells. The project has distributed over 13,000 kindness bells through out Tucson and has traveled to New Orleans, Virginia Tech, and NYC this past 9/11 to share bells with others.

Learn more about Ben’s Bells at http://www.bensbells.org and also donate to the project with your El Tour de Tucson charitable gift.
