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 2024, more than 250 kids received gifts! Thank you to our Birthday Buddies for making birthdays magical for kids like 8-year-old Lavonce, who wanted a gift card to go shopping at his favorite store, Five Below. Lavonce said, “Thank you very much for the gift card. I really appreciate it. You were one of the few people to give me a gift..”
15-year-old Tanner received Nike shoes that made him feel cool and confident at school. He wrote a thank you note to the donor who granted his wish, which said: “Thank you for getting me the shoes for my birthday. I didn’t think I was gonna get anything this year cause I’m not at home. Thank you once again.”
