Walk to Bring the Joy of a Birthday Party to Children Experiencing Homelessness

How it Works:

1. Click Register at the top of the page.

2. You'll be prompted if you'd like to join or create a fundraising team to participate alongside your friends and family. If you'd like to fundraise on your own without a team, you can skip this.

3. Next, you'll be able to customize your fundraising page and set some goals! Estimate how many miles you’ll run, walk, bike, swim, ski, and/or hike (anything counts!) from April 28th to June 8th. Whether it's 10, 50, or 500 miles, there's no amount too big or small. Complete the rest of the questions and finalize your registration.

4. After registering, you'll be taken to your fundraising page! Share it widely with friends and family to ask if they’ll support your efforts by donating to you! They can make a pledge per mile or donate a flat amount to your efforts.

5. Anytime between April 28th and June 8th, log your miles by connecting your Strava account or by posting them directly to your fundraising page.

6. Keep an eye on the Community tab to see how and what others are doing to support Birthday Wishes! 🎂

Click the button labeled “Donate” at the top of the page. Before you continue, you'll need to decide if you'd like to support an individual participant, a team or make a general donation.

To donate to the event, you'll click the "Make a general donation" button. Choose a recommended donation amount or enter a custom amount.

To donate to an individual participant, you'll type their name into the search bar and click the "Continue" button. For individual participants, you'll have the choice to make a pledge per mile (recommended dollar amounts will be automatically generated for you based on the individual’s or team’s total estimated miles) or to make a one-time flat donation.

To donate to a team, you'll type their team name into the search bar and click the "Continue" button. You can also donate to an individual who is also on a team. That donation will count toward both the individual's fundraising goal, and the team's larger fundraising goal.

Birthday Wishes is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status and your donation will be tax exempt as applicable by law.
