On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, SageView Advisory Group, in partnership with SixDegrees.org, activated BKxKB as part of the 2025 National Conference. Together, attendees built 1,000 essential resource kits for distribution to local Los Angeles county young people who live in under resourced communities AND who were recently impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles county. These kits represent so much more than backpacks and school supplies - they represent dignity and encouragement for the next generation to reach their fullest potential.

On Wednesday, February 5, 2025, SixDegrees.org activated its Building Kits program in partnership with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, D.C.
