Birthday-in-a-Box Provides Opportunity for At-Risk Elementary-Aged Students to Celebrate

Do you remember the excitement and anticipation as your birthday neared each year? The celebration with friends, opening presents, and blowing out the candles on your cake?

Can you imagine there may be children who may not get that experience?

Neither can we!

Each month after the membership meeting adjourns, Assisteens® of the Bay Area gather to assemble kits containing items to host a party and provide a small gift with a handwritten card.

Through their philanthropic program, Birthday in a Box, at-risk students at two elementary campuses in the Clear Creek ISD and Dickinson ISD experience that all-important childhood event.
