About Me


Sometimes a hug
is all that we need
Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.
In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.
As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.
In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person...

Free Hugs was started by Juan Mann and here in Phoenix were keeping it going! Ian Fecke-Stoudt started Free Hugs Phoenix on February 2, 2007 at the First Fridays Art Walk. Shortly thereafter he was joined by his sister Marial and then more huggers started to emerge here in the Valley of the Sun. There's now a large group of huggers who make the First Fridays Art Walk their grounds for hugging, just watch for the FREE HUGS signs and of course the hugging going on!
