High-Five Friend Card Challenge
Send Joy and Belonging Through Happy Mail
What if a simple high five could travel through the mail and brighten someone’s day? That’s the idea behind our High-Five Friend Card Challenge—a creative, feel-good way to share connection through Happy Mail* with members of the Forget-Me-Not Friends Club.
At the Forgotten Wishes Foundation, we work to spark joy and foster a sense of belonging for individuals with disabilities. One of the ways we do that is by sending cheerful, personalized mail throughout the year—especially birthday cards, notes, and fun surprises. This challenge invites you to be part of that joy.

5 Simple Steps
- Download the Template on 8.5 x 11 printer paper

Each handprint serves as a friendly reminder that someone took the time to reach out—because they care!
WHO WILL RECEIVE YOUR HIGH FIVES?
Your cards will be sent to members of the Forget-Me-Not Friends Club across the country. These are individuals who may experience social isolation and who receive Happy Mail from us throughout the year. They don’t send mail back—but your card helps them feel seen, remembered, and included.
WHY A HIGH FIVE?
A high five is simple and universal. It says: I see you. I’m thinking of you. We’re in this together. When many high fives come together, they create something bigger—a connection shared across miles.
