The Birthday Party Project

🎉 What if ONE volunteer experience could transform your team and your workplace — all while bringing JOY to kids who need it most? At The Birthday Party Project, we've witnessed the ripple effect of teams coming together to serve. It's more than just doing good — it's about discovering new energy, connection, and purpose within your team. To celebrate National Volunteer Month, we’ve created a resource to show you how partnering with us goes beyond fun and cake — it can spark something powerful for your people and your culture. 🥳 Ready to see what we mean? 🎈 Check out the guide below! 🎊    Learn more about volunteering with us: https://lnkd.in/eVqs8eT

🎉Help Us Keep the Magic Going At every party, we make sure our birthday kids leave with two special things: 📸 A photo that captures their moment of JOY 🎁 A gift bag filled with that special birthday gift from their wishlist For many of the children we serve, their Instax photo may be their only printed memory while staying in shelter, and their gift bag might be filled with their only birthday gift. HELP! We're running low on both, and we need your help to keep the JOY going! Here's how you can make an impact today: 📸 Donate Fuji Instax film 🎁 Send gift bags 📦 Shop our wishlist (link in bio) Because every child deserves to feel seen, known, and celebrated.

Partnerships that Spark Joy! This weekend, our mission came to life in a big way, thanks to the incredible generosity of DreamWorks Animation and Oriental Trading Company, A Berkshire Hathaway Company Together, we hosted a carnival-themed celebration for children and families impacted by the LA wildfires on the DreamWorks campus. Every detail was designed to bring JOY and magic- from fun games to meet-and-greets with Gabby and DogMan! Nothing Bundt Cakes Glendale provided bundtinis for the celebration, and CT & Co.. was the glue that held it all together! The fun didn't stop there: DreamWorks volunteers assembled each bag to support our Share Your Birthday™ campaign—honoring Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse and Oriental Trading Company ensured each bag was filled with everything needed to make a birthday extra special. We are deeply grateful to our partners who believe in the power of JOY and celebration. Thank you for helping us make birthdays brighter for so many!

🎁 Behind the Scenes of JOY: Why Party Prep Matters! Not all heroes wear party hats—some wrap gifts, decorate birthday cards, and pack the party bins before the celebration even begins! Before every party, Birthday Enthusiasts work behind the scenes to ensure every detail is just right. Because JOY isn't just in the party—it's in the anticipation and the care poured into every small moment. Why It Matters: 🎂 A decorated card says: You are seen. 🎈 A wrapped gift tells a child: You are worth celebrating. 🎁 A thoughtfully planned party creates memories that build confidence and belonging. Want to help create birthday magic? Sign up to volunteer and be part of the JOY—before the party even starts!

"For me?! All of this is for me?" Hear one mom's story of resilience and how her courage to leave gave her kids the gift of celebration. This is why we do what we do-we want kids to feel seen, known, and celebrated. 🧡 Thanks to our amazing partner, Genesis Women's Shelter & Support for taking such great care of families! #volunteer #joy #joychangeslives
