For those doing the real work out there with a whimsical spirit!
In honor of my Dad, Maynard Daniel Metler
My Dad is the OG Sensitive Silly Changemaker living fully his changemaker values of family first and being as close to unconditionally loving and selfless as I have seen on the planet, befriending all his neighbors and any stranger everywhere he goes, and being quite whimsical. My dad read the poem “Will you be my friend?” by James Kavanaugh to my mom on their first date and was the hype clown for my mom (who at some point was the main clown). Those are my parents.
This annual Sensitive Silly Changemaker award will award a whimsical honorary degree and $1000 prize to a Sensitive Silly changemaker out there ‘walking the talk’.
The Swing Set Institute is proud to announce the 2026 Sensitive Silly Changemaker award goes to….
