All you Kevin Bacon fans out there – this is your chance to remove all those degrees of separation between you and Kevin. If you played the “Kevin bacon Game” growing up, you know that every celebrity in Hollywood can be linked to Kevin Bacon is six or fewer relationships. Now Kevin Bacon wants to be linked to all you “everyday” celebrities supporting worthy causes across America. He is building a network of people making a difference in this small world and invites you to join him.

If you join Kevin Bacon’s Pepsi Refresh Project, Kevin will call you to welcome you to the Six Degrees team. In addition, SixDegrees.org will send you a $10 Good Card (a gift card for charity) to spend as a donation to the charity of your choice – anything from your local animal shelter, to a charity fighting a disease that has touched your family, to rebuilding projects in Haiti.

In return, Kevin asks you to tell up to 6 people about the campaign and how to pay it forward by sending Good Cards to their family and friends. Together, the Six Degrees network can multiply the Pepsi Refresh grant to send lots of dollars to great causes that accomplish good in this small world.
