HAPPY BIG 250 AMERICA!
The Happy BIG 250!™ is a national celebration of America’s 250th anniversary — a once-in-a-generation milestone honoring the spirit of freedom, exploration, and unity that defines this country. It’s a movement made for the people, by the people.
Through personalized passports, real-world adventures, a nationwide challenge, and community-submitted events, the Happy BIG 250!™ brings Americans together to rediscover the land we love — and to make history together, one adventure at a time.
A Celebration by the People,
for the People
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of bold visionaries signed their names to a declaration that would ignite the greatest adventure in human history — the founding of the United States of America. Today, as we prepare to honor that legacy, it’s not just about looking back. It’s about how we the people choose to celebrate it.
Carrying the Spirit of the Founders
Just as the Founding Fathers lit the torch of liberty 250 years ago, you now carry the torch of celebration. This is your moment to honor their courage — not with speeches and ceremony, but with adventure, joy, and unity. America was born from boldness. And now, it’s up to we the people to keep that spirit alive.
A Kickstarter Built for the People
We’re not launching on Kickstarter because we have to — we’re launching there because this belongs to you. This isn’t about raising money. It’s about raising the spirit of unity and patriotism, with every backer becoming part of the journey. You won’t just be supporting a product — you’ll be helping write history.
The Kickstarter campaign will give everyday Americans the chance to become Founding Adventurers — the first to receive the passport, the first to take part in the challenge, and the first to help shape the journey. As a backer, you’ll even vote on which 75 locations are featured in the Wonders of America edition of the passport.
This is your chance to help write the story — not with dollars, but with purpose.
Because the best way to honor 250 years of freedom is to make sure everyone has a voice in what comes next.
A Celebration
in Motion
Through the #HappyBig250 Challenge, you’ll share your own adventures and become part of something bigger — a coast-to-coast celebration made up of real people, real stories, and real American pride. Every photo, every post, every stamped destination is a piece of the national mosaic. The challenge doesn’t come from the top.
It comes from you.
Submit Events. Spark Joy. Spread the Spirit.
Through the Passport to 250™ App, you’ll be able to submit your own America 250 themed events and ideas — from local parades to patriotic hikes, backyard concerts to school projects. This isn’t a campaign that rolls out from Washington. It spreads from towns and communities just like yours.
From one American to another. From we the people, to all the people.
