Project Title: Birthday Parties in a Box – for Children In Need
Project Description:
Unfortunately, for many children their birthdays are NOT happy; but are uncertain, sad, and lonely — and they’re often not celebrated due to a multitude of circumstances beyond their control.
We partner with child advocates to provide birthday parties to children who might not otherwise have one. Once we receive a request, we pull together a unique and customized Birthday Box for the specific child which includes: tableware, decorations, party activity, party favors, cupcakes and candles, and a birthday gift and card. We then provide the birthday box to the parent or caregiver, dignifying their role in the child’s life and making them the birthday hero!
We anticipate providing 250 "Birthday Boxes" to children in need in 2022, at the cost of $100 each. A grant from the Hermanowski Foundation would enable our volunteer-run organization the means to prepare for and provide birthday cheer and celebration for children in need.
Fully volunteer-led and with no overhead, 100% of the funds will go towards this specific effort!
Total Project Budget: $25,000
