The Imagination Foundation is launching the first ever Global Cardboard Challenge, inviting the world to play while raising funds to foster creativity and entrepreneurship in kids.
September will be the month to organize and build, then on October 6th (the one-year anniversary of the flashmob that came out to make Caine's day) friends, family, co-workers and community members can come out to play at local events, celebrating the creativity and imagination of kids around the world.
