The Birthday Project

At Carabetta Cares, we believe every child deserves the joy of opening a gift, making a wish, and feeling celebrated on their birthday. Unfortunately, for many families facing financial hardship, providing a birthday gift can be an added challenge during an already difficult time.

Creating Special Moments

Through The Birthday Project, we partner with parents and guardians to provide thoughtful birthday gifts for children whose families may be experiencing financial difficulties.

Our goal is simple: to help create meaningful moments of happiness and celebration while easing a small burden for families in need.

Every gift represents more than just a present—it represents hope, kindness, and a reminder that there is a community that cares.

How The Program Works

Application & Referral

Parents, guardians, social workers, educators, and community organizations can submit a referral for a child in need of support.

Gift Selection

Our team works with families to learn about the child's interests, hobbies, and wishes to help provide a meaningful and personalized gift.

Birthday Magic

With the support of our donors and community partners, we provide a special gift that helps make the child's birthday a memorable celebration.

The program operates under the strategic oversight of our Chairperson, Gina Marcantonio Wotton

Be Part of the Celebration

The Birthday Project is made possible through the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community members who believe every child deserves to experience joy on their special day.

Whether you choose to donate, sponsor a birthday, volunteer, or refer a family in need, your support helps create lasting memories and brighter days for children throughout our community.

Together, we can ensure every child feels celebrated.
