Alex Sheen is the founder of because I said I would, a social movement and nonprofit dedicated to bettering humanity through promises made and kept. Sparked by the loss of his father, Alex and his organization send “promise cards” to anyone anywhere in the world at no cost. Alex is someone who truly honors commitment. He once walked over 240 miles across the entire state of Ohio in 10 days to fulfill a promise. In just two years, because I said I would has sent over 12.3 million promise cards to over 153 different countries. The promises written on these cards have made headlines around the world. Alex is a five-time Tedx Talk speaker and his charitable work has been featured on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, CNN, The Today Show, NPR, The Los Angeles Times and many other programs.

 

One of the most heartfelt initiatives led by Alex Sheen and his nonprofit, because I said I would, is a special camp designed to support families coping with the profound grief of losing a loved one. This camp provides a safe and nurturing space where families can find healing, connection, and hope during one of life’s most challenging journeys.

 

The camp features therapeutic workshops, family bonding activities, and legacy-building exercises to help participants process their loss while finding strength and purpose.
