Last fall, students at Payson High School launched a social media campaign to bring #BacontoPayson before the old building (made famous as the main set location of the iconic film Footloose) is closed and demolished later this year. The students’ hard work—which included Footloose flash mobs, staging Footloose the play and cardboard cutouts of Bacon—finally paid off. The Footloose star made his visit as part of SixDegrees.org’s new initiative Building Kits by Kevin Bacon program, which aims to distribute 40,000 essential resource kits to young people in need throughout Utah, Colorado and Nevada. More than 1,000 volunteers from the Payson community joined Bacon to assemble $865,000 worth of product distribution, totaling 121,900 items and involved more than 3,000 volunteer hours.
