The BE BIG Campaign:

  • Results of a new research study, 'It Starts With Character: Inspiring Kids & Teens to Volunteer', commissioned by Scholastic Media – a division of Scholastic Inc., the global children’s publishing, education and media company – and HandsOn Network – the volunteer enterprise of Points of Light – found that kids and teens who are more exposed to character-building skills, such as sharing, being kind and helping others, are more likely to volunteer in their communities, and with greater frequency. The study also found that media (TV, film, books, magazines, games, apps and Internet) can play an important role in communicating the value of character education.
  • BE BIG is a national campaign that invites everyone, big and small, to take action and raise awareness for how Clifford's Big Ideas (Share, Play Fair, Have Respect, Be Responsible, Work Together, Be Truthful, Be Kind, Believe in Yourself, Be A Good Friend and Help Others) can make the world a better place. The mission of BE BIG is to recognize and reward others for their BE BIG actions, to catalyze change in local communities and to provide resources for everyone to share Big Ideas!
  • The fourth annual CLIFFORD BE BIG IN YOUR COMMUNITY CONTEST launched February 1, 2012. The winning BIG ideas will be awarded $10,000 in community grants.
  • Scholastic has established the BE BIG Fund at HandsOnNetwork. The mission of the BE BIG Fund is to raise awareness about the Be Big Ideas and how their application can help to make the world a better place, to engage the public in taking action on Be Big ideas in their personal, school/business and community lives, to recognize Be Big actions in various forms (personal, community) and to provide resources for parents, teachers and others to use in the character education of our children and our communities.
  • Winners of the third annual CLIFFORD BE BIG IN YOUR COMMUNITY CONTEST were announced in October.
  • The Be Big Campaign won the 2011 W3 Silver Award Winner in the Integrated Campaign for Children Category
  • Clifford's BE BIG With Words App for iPhone™ and iPod touch® has ranked among the top paid educational apps on iTunes®
