Everyone loves to help kids celebrate their birthday! Our Birthday Buddies program was created to help children who otherwise may not receive much make great memories on their special day. Generous donors match with kids on our website, and we purchase gifts from their wish list with the donation.
In 2025, more than 240 kids had magical birthdays thanks to our Birthday Buddies. They received gifts like headphones, remote control cars, and art supplies. 6-year-old Lavonce sent a thank-you note: “Thank you very much for the gift card. I really appreciate how you are one of the few people to give me a gift!”
We would also like to thank For Goodness Cakes, a national nonprofit whose St. Louis chapter volunteers have baked up many birthday treats for our kids.
