What's a Birthday Box?
What started as a small way to celebrate and remember Marco's birthday by showing kindness to others, quickly turned into more than 6,000 birthday celebrations for children thanks to the generosity of people like you!
Each birthday box contains cake mix, frosting, candles, a birthday card for parents/guardians to sign, and a gift.
How can I help?
