Making a Difference All Year Long

A Very Special Thank You Note

We don't always have the opportunity to hear directly from the families we serve, so messages like this one remind us why we do what we do.The challenges homeless families face as they try to get back on their feet are only mounting in today's changing world. The children in these families deserve to be celebrated on their birthday, and their parents should not have to choose between a bill, and watching their child blow out candles on a birthday cake. Your gift today will help provide a spark of joy in an otherwise difficult time.

Please consider donating now to our end of year appeal. Every dollar makes a difference.

With Gratitude,

Denell Nuese

Executive Director

Walk for Birthdays Wrap Up

Our annual Walk for Birthdays took place on Sunday, June 12th! We lucked out with the weather and it was a beautiful day! Our walkers loved the 1.25 mile walk on the scenic Cochituate Rail Trail in Natick, and returned to enjoy live music and entertainment, games, treats and raffle prizes. The event raised over $80,000 toward our $100,000 end of year fundraising goal and our participants built over 100 Birthdays-in-a-Box at our community service event!

Making an Impact Through Corporate Service Projects with Birthday Wishes!

Thank you to Ares Management for their generous donation and for sending this group of amazing volunteers to help us wrap gifts for our July birthday kids. If you'd like to learn more about corporate service opportunities contact us!

As part of their annual employee summit these employees from Punchbowl wrapped and built 30 complete Birthdays-in-a-Box! We couldn't do it without the help and generosity of our corporate partners!
