Giving Programs

Birthday Buddies

Birthdays are a chance to feel special. For many children impacted by foster care, that moment of celebration can be uncertain. Our Birthday Buddies program can help change that.

Brighten a birthday with joy and a little extra magic.

By becoming a Birthday Buddy, you’re helping create a day full of smiles and excitement. Each gift is chosen by the child, making their birthday feel uniquely theirs—and reminding them that their big day matters. Gifts range in value from $50 to $100 depending on the child’s age.
