Ways to Help
"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”
— William Shakespeare
There are a multitude of ways to help us bring a smile to a child’s face. Whether it’s through a cash gift,
delivering a party to a shelter, donating a cake, bringing a group to create gift bags, throwing a
fund-raising event of your own, or joining a committee, we welcome your assistance.
Service Projects:
Many service clubs, students and individuals need options to provide community service. We have several
opportunities to check that off your list, including wrapping presents, helping with inventory,
volunteering for a special event, creating gift bags and more.
Community & Team Building Events:
Does your company need a teambuilding event? If so, call us. We often have groups of staff come
in to complete a variety of fun tasks that allow them to communicate and work as a team.
Passive Giving:
One of the easiest ways to help, passive giving allows you to donate through grocery store accounts,
Amazon Smile, and other ways online. A portion of your shopping is donated back to us- just for making purchases as usual.
Fundraise:
There are many ways to fundraise for us. Some of the wonderful ideas we’ve seen are craft sales, bake sales, garage sales, car washes,
lemonade stands, and more. What can you think of?
Kids Helping Kids:
Birthday Dreams has inspired several young people to rally their friends and family on our behalf, either for
volunteer opportunities or fundraising events. Please let us know if you have an idea of how your child might help.
Building Birthdays:
Our wonderful birthdays take time to put together. You can “adopt” a child to donate a complete Birthday-in-a-Box, or you can
assist us in the selection and wrapping of a box at Birthday Central.
Meet our Volunteers:
We have the best volunteers! See what our volunteers are doing and what motivates them.
Join A Committee:
We have several active committees that are always looking for additional help. Perhaps you would like to help us with marketing
(writing newsletter articles, creating displays, training speakers), or fundraising. Our annual
gala needs innovative and creative people to keep it exciting and inspirational. Please let us know
if you’d be interested in joining a committee.
