Our Story
Every child deserves a birthday party, right? We know there are many children whose special day passes each year without being recognized. Our goal is to bring a little birthday joy to as many of them as possible.
What started as a way to teach my two young girls about giving back, has grown into a mission. We began making birthday party boxes for kids at a nearby children’s home. Soon the idea caught on. Friends and neighbors started helping and quickly we had so many boxes that we needed to find more homes and organizations to serve.
The simple concept of giving a birthday party to a child is one that children, and adults alike, can embrace. We all have birthdays. Who wouldn’t like to see as many children as possible have a chance to celebrate on their special day.
