Miles for Smiles Activity Challenge

Join us for our 5th annual Miles for Smiles Activity Challenge! You have two weeks to complete your activity aiming for at least 3 miles.

All fitness counts: biking, hiking, swimming, walking, running. Our registration system integrates with personal fitness trackers through a Strava account.

You can add some spice to your miles by joining the photo scavenger hunt. Get as many photos as you can from the list. Those with the most photos will be entered to win a prize drawing.

So gather your friends, form a team, set a goal, and start getting donations!

Amazon Wish List

Making giving easier - please check our Amazon with list. When you order from our wish list, toys will be sent directly to our office for us to wrap and send out to deserving children. If you sign up to buy gifts for a specific child, please include that child's name in the comments.

Please include your name in the comment so we know who to thank. Amazon does not tell us.

Every child matters. And homeless children are no exception.

Birthday Dreams works tirelessly to make birthday parties happen for the most vulnerable among us. A birthday party is important for a child because it:

  • Marks the day that child was born, validating who they are.
  • Creates a positive memory in a sea of negative, homeless memories.
  • Helps to ease resentments and bitterness.
  • Puts homeless children on similar footing with their peers.
  • Gives the child joy and hope when his/her life seems hopeless.
  • Creates a feeling of togetherness and dignity for the child and his/her family.
  • Shows the child that the community cares and that they are important.
Won’t you join us in bringing a smile to a homeless boy or girl?
