We celebrated 20 years of humanity on November 1, 2025. It was a worldwide birthday bash to remember, with folks from as far away as Africa taking part. Now we’ve posted the video of our full 2-hour party on our Humanity Project YouTube Channel. We think you’ll find it fun, fast-paced and inspiring. As we write this blog, it’s exactly 20 years since our founding by Bob Knotts, our president: November 3, 2005 was the big day. Since then, the Humanity Project has helped tens of thousands of kids and adults through our original free programs, writings, music, videos and more. People from six continents visit our website every day to learn and to enjoy our offerings.

The birthday celebration posted on YouTube features lots of interaction with our guests, friends and supporters as well as videos, songs, giveaway prizes, awards and amusing memories. Here’s an Eventbrite map showing the locations of people who registered for our birthday party — and it doesn’t include the many who attended without registering:

We’re delighted by the turnout and the reaction to our birthday bash. If you were among those who attended, thank you — and we hope you’ll want to relive some of those memorable moments captured on the video. If you weren’t there, definitely check it out on YouTube. In a time when our world too often feels troubling and challenging, our 20 Years of Humanity Birthday Bash serves as an antidote, full of caring and helping and hope.
