2.  Contact us to sign up for your birthday! (multiple kids and kids of all ages can sign up for any day of the year)


3.  Choose an activity that you would enjoy and would also help other kids in a meaningful way.

    ​
4.  Decide which organization you want to help (as appropriate).   Contact them to let them know what you are doing.  They'll be really happy to know you want to support them.  Also, they may be able to provide help and other resources.​​​​​​
