We are so grateful for our new volunteer Sarah! Having spent time helping in our office and now acting as project manager for the Kid's Ninja Warrior Event, she is a welcome asset to the team. When asked what has encouraged her to continue volunteer, she had this to say:
"When the BD staff and volunteers talk about preparing for a party, I hear them discuss, plan and execute each detail with as much love and attention as if they are planning a party for their own child. This makes me want to make the most of each small opportunity to create a moment of joy for another child (particularly one in the midst of struggles)."
Volunteering with Birthday Dreams is a fulfilling experience for us and we are so glad she's enjoying it too! Learn more about her experience and other volunteers here.
