Background
Thousands of children with cerebral palsy diagnosis in Russia really need to get physical rehabilitation to write confidently, study and socialize.
In 2019 there were about 50 funds in Russia, helping to children with CP.
Meanwhile, there is barely any specialized social advertising to educate the general public about the challenges of children with limited mobility and writing difficulties. Moreover, Russia does nothing to commemorate the World CP Day.
Funds that help children with CP hold mostly small-scale events that do not allow them to raise public awareness of the existing problem and to encourage engagement.
The awareness of the Russian society about cerebral palsy as a medical diagnosis is low.
People rarely provide support to children with CP.
Objectives: to raise awareness about the challenges faced by children with CP and to inspire people for supporting children with CP through donations for individual therapies programs.
Describe the strategy
TA: ALL 18–44.
For the World CP Day, we offered leading Russian and international brands to become our partners and to change their corporate fonts with the Font of Kindness in logos, slogans and other communications at their websites and in social media.
We engaged celebrities with a strong media presence. On the World CP Day, each of them told their followers about the project and posted a photo wearing an original Font of Kindness hoodie in their account in social nets.
The key of call to action was to lead users on project's website, where they could download the font for free, donate, order merch with a custom caption rendered in the Font of Kindness
To tell more people about World Day CP, we released hoodies and t-shirts with individual Font of Kindness inscriptions.
Describe the execution
We gathered handwriting samples of 33 children with CP into one font - the Font of Kindness.
In the Russian language "The Font of Kindness" sounds like "Dobroshrift" and spelled “Доброшрифт”.
Project was released in Russia in October 2019. The project is timed to the World CP Day.
The Font of Kindness was available for free downloading at the project’s website one month before to the World CP Day. We encouraged businesses to join the project at their own initiative.
We made video showing that there are thousands of words around us and explaining how hard it can be for a child with CP to write even one letter.
We also published additional materials (press release, videos, banner templates) at the project’s website one month before the launch.
We released hoodies with individual Font of Kindness inscriptions.
