88 is the magic number. That will get help La Befa

88 is the magic number. That will get help La Befana get to 1,000 magic moments!

That means 1,000 magic moments of goodness and lightheartedness shared with those living in the streets of NYC.

With 1,000 we will be 1/10 of our way to meeting La Befana’s goal of 10,000 magic moments this season.

La Befana is not just sharing cookies nor is our partner NYC Relief just giving out bowls of soup and socks.

Together we are partnering to give people the hope, resources, and faith to take the right next step in transforming their lives.

This partnership is not about charity….it’s about solidarity!

So here is the deal.

With a minimum donation of $12 this GIVING TUESDAY we will send you a PDF copy of the book that inspired this movement.

OR Better

Take La Befana’s #12daysofcrazylove challenge and from 12/25 to 1/5 join in doing 12 acts of crazy love (aka Caritas) with daily videos challenges from La Befana in benefit of a great cause.

For families, individuals or groups that raise $108 or more we will send you a box of your very own La Befana’s Magic Star Cookies to enjoy or share just the way La Befana does!

This is how movements are started.

All it takes is one small act of Crazy Love!

At La Befana & Friends “famiglia” extends beyo

At La Befana & Friends “famiglia” extends beyond our individual bloodline. La Befana is something special from my family that I wanted to share with the world. And now that she has sprung into life right before my eyes, I get to learn about what’s special to yours, through her. We are brother and sisters from all walks of life. Let’s celebrate each moment we get to share together and rejoice in our uniqueness and what makes us the same.

Who better to teach us of our shared humanity than a puppet!?!?

What’s a special holiday tradition, recipe, story or moment you can share with us?

I remember carefully carving each stone of La Befa

I remember carefully carving each stone of La Befana’s Magic Kitchen set by hand in a wood shop in CT. A team of local artists joined to help as we imagined, drew, and then constructed the world we wanted La Befana to live in. When hearts come together for a purpose greater than they can complete on their own... magic is created!

Can you spot the heart shaped stone?
