Schools and communities are often in the news for their partnership with The Butterfly Project. If your organization is involved in any news or media coverage about your involvement with our mission, we kindly request that you include the following in the story:

• How we began: The Butterfly Project was co-founded in San Diego in 2006 by educator Jan Landau and artist Cheryl Rattner Price.

• Our mission: The Butterfly Project is a call to action through education, the arts and memorial making. By painting ceramic butterflies, which are displayed as symbols of resilience and hope, participants remember the 1.5 million children killed during the Holocaust. In this work, The Butterfly Project honors our commitment to the Survivors to Never Forget.

• Current number of butterflies counted: As of October 2025, it is estimated that over 440,798 butterflies have been painted as part of The Butterfly Project worldwide.
