A Birthday Charity For Children In Need

Help your birthday boy or girl share the spirit of celebration with a buddy in need! Based in New York City and partnered with Room to Grow, Birthday Buds is a non-profit charity that gifts disadvantaged children ages 3-12 with birthday presents and other essential items.

Founded in 2011, the organization teaches children the value of giving back at a time when they are given so much in the form of parties and presents. Your son or daughter can be matched with a donor child of the same age, sex, and birth month and provide him or her with three to five unwrapped toys, along with a roll of wrapping paper and/or gift bags and some essentials like socks, toiletries, and school supplies.
