Driving Joy Forward: How Village Automotive Helps Deliver Birthday Magic Across Massachusetts

February is a time when we celebrate love, kindness, and connection; values that sit at the heart of Birthday Wishes’ mission. Every day, we see how simple acts of care can make a powerful difference for children experiencing homelessness.

At Birthday Wishes, every child deserves to feel celebrated, no matter where they live, how large their shelter is, or how many birthdays are being celebrated that month.

That belief is what makes our long-time partnership with Village Automotive Group so meaningful. As a Deliver Happiness Sponsor, Village Automotive’s generous support helps offset the transportation costs required to deliver Birthday-in-a-Box celebrations to housing programs across Massachusetts. Their sponsorship ensures that birthday joy reaches thousands of children experiencing homelessness, even when the logistics behind the scenes are complex.

“When we learned how many children Birthday Wishes reaches and how much goes into getting those celebrations delivered, we knew we wanted to help,” said Ray Ciccolo of Village Automotive. “Every child deserves to feel remembered and celebrated, and we’re proud to support an organization that works so hard to make that happen.”

A Partnership That Delivers More Than Boxes

Thanks to Village Automotive, Birthday Wishes is able to:

• Deliver Birthday-in-a-Box celebrations throughout Massachusetts

• Reach both large shelters and small community-based programs

• Offset rising transportation costs

• Ensure every child is celebrated, no matter where they live

Because of partners like Village Automotive, our deliveries carry more than birthday supplies; they carry love, joy, and the message that every child matters.

We are deeply grateful to Ray Ciccolo and the Village Automotive team for helping Birthday Wishes continue delivering happiness, one birthday at a time.
