Cool Beans was launched initially in March 2020 — we’re bringing it back to celebrate National Kidney Month again in 2021 because of its success and impact.

You can read more about the project in our two initial blog posts on the backstory here and the restaurant concept here.

Since the initial launch, we have created a small line of kidney-centric and living donor stickers as well as partnered with the National Kidney Foundation in Illinois to rebrand one of their educational programs. We have some other exciting conversations in the works and expect more to come for this project.

Celebrating World Kidney Day 2021

The theme for World Kidney Day in 2021 is “Living Well with Kidney Disease” and Lettering Works invites you to celebrate and raise awareness with us.

How can you help us spread awareness this World Kidney Day (March 11th, 2021)? Consider sharing one of the above “Living Well with Kidney Disease” graphics (and tagging @letteringworks and #worldkidneyday), a link to the Cool Beans project, or any of our featured Cool Beans highlights from Instagram.

You can also purchase Kidney Strong, One Bean Club, and Living Donor stickers for yourself or anyone you know who is affected by kidney disease or is a living donor.

Are you an advocacy organization who would like to partner with Lettering Works to increase awareness for kidney disease or another cause through creative, custom artwork? We are always looking for new collaborators and cause-driven clients; reach out to Chelsie directly at hello@letteringworks.com.
