Donate Birthday Gifts

Nothing creates excitement and anticipation as much as a beautifully wrapped gift with the birthday child’s name on it! Birthday Wishes birthday celebrants range in age from 1-17. With their Birthday-in-a-Box, each birthday child receives gifts carefully selected based upon age, gender, and interests. Help provide this magical experience for the children we serve by making a donation of one or more birthday gifts.
