BETH’S BIRTHDAYS is on a mission to spread joy, one birthday at a time!
We believe every child, regardless of circumstance, has the right to celebrate. Birthday parties help a children gain more self-confidence, feel more social and be more thankful. A birthday celebration marks a time of joy for families who have recently experienced a bump in the road.
Each family we celebrate with has their own story: a parent serving overseas, an illness in the family, a child with disabilities, a hardworking single parent who barely makes ends meets, a foster family, a parent in jail or a family, a recent death or a family just down on their luck. Birthdays can offer a moment of solace - and of course, a reason to smile!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we shifted our focus from hosting in-person birthday parties to preparing birthdays-in-a-box donations. We're committed to the health and safety of every child we serve, and we hope this continues to spread joy - until we can be together again!
Why Beth? Our name, Beth’s Birthdays, was inspired by the Enid Blyton children’s book The Enchanted Wood, part of the Faraway Tree series. It’s a tale of imagination. In the story, three children move to an enchanted wood and discover a magical tree. As they climb, they meet new characters, reach new heights and discover new adventures. With her new friends in the Faraway Tree, Beth (aka Bessie in some of the earlier versions of the book) celebrates her birthday in the Land of Birthdays. We look forward to celebrating a magical birthday with every child we meet. We also hope to inspire the children we meet to keep climbing the tree of life to reach new faraway lands.
That magical tree is at the root of our brand - hence, our logo. It represents how every act of kindness touches more people. We don't want the joy to stop spreading after the birthday is over; we're passionate about paying it forward.
Our parties are powered by our generous donors.
Like the candles atop the cake, We celebrate children, and the joy they bring into our communities.
