Volunteers make birthday joy possible. Whether you’re spreading the word, fundraising, or bringing your community together, your support helps ensure children in under‑resourced schools feel celebrated, valued, and cared for on their special day. Interested in volunteering? Learn more here. 

There are many easy and creative ways to get involved. Whether you’re working on your own, with your family, or as part of a group, every effort makes a difference.

Help get the word out. The more items and funding we can collect, the more classrooms we can adopt—and the more birthday joy we can bring to children across our communities.
