Bio

We are a team of six enthusiastic high schoolers who are determined to make a change in our community. We plan to achieve our goal by providing birthday party packages to underpriveleged children and their families. We also provide the same packages to families in our town who can afford to pay for them and accept donations so that we remain self-sustaining.Our motto is to make a difference in the community one smile at a time. By seeing the smiles on the children's faces who have discovered that they will, in fact, have a birthday party, we know that we have impacted and will continue to impact the lives of underpriveleged children and their families

Goals

  • I launched a venture in the last 12 months and could use help
  • I have started a venture and want to share insights
  • I want to reach out to YV alumni

Interests

Business, Children, Community Development, Poverty, Youth Empowerment

Guestbook

Imagine being a child just days away from your birthday knowing that because of your parents financial problems, you will not receive the birthday party you desire. Now, Imagine being a caring parent, and all you want to do is to put a smile on your child’s face for their special day. That’s why we’re here. Birthday wish is committed to bringing smiles back to those child's faces and relieving the anxiety of the parents unable to provide their child with the party they deserve.

    hey,
    this sounds like an awesome venture. I'd really like to help out if you need it. Are you thinking of expanding? have you looked at Gifts In-Kind International? If you are a non-profit, you could register to get in-kind donations from large businesses. It could really help you with the gifts you give out.
    let me know if you'd like to partner up ventures or something,
    always,
    jenny.

    Hii,

    Well, I just googled for myspace layouts. Then copy the html code and replace/alter the code with the image link of my choice. I got the playlist from www.musicplaylist.net where you can add your favorite songs and export/share it on your webpage. If you need the sample html code for the background, graphics and etc...I can message them to you. =) Let me know.

    Best,
    Linda
