CFCA thanks the many donors who choose to have their friends and family donate to Change for Children in lieu of gifts. Supporters as young as 11 have made birthday parties benefit CFCA and several have supported CFCA at their weddings. This is a special way to support social justice and raise awareness amongst friends and family.

“We wanted out wedding to be about community and sharing. Since weddings have traditionally involved large groups of people coming together to celebrate the joy of a single couple, it seemed natural to further extend this sense of community. Both of us feel that CFCA is a very progressive and effective charity, and we are proud to be associated with it.” Vanessa & Dave, CFCA ‘wedding benefactors’

If you contact us ahead of time we can provide donation cards to include in your invitations or brochures for place settings if you feel that is appropriate. We encourage you to ask your guests to request that a tribute letter be sent to you regarding their donation so you will be notified of their gift.

Change for Children's GLOBAL KIDS BIRTHDAY CLUB

For kids who celebrate giving!
A Global Kids birthday party is a unique opportunity for you and your child to turn their birthday celebration into an event that also celebrates and inspires kids helping kids.

Global Kids Birthday Club members take a big birthday step by learning and teaching about other kids and making a contribution to projects that will make a positive difference!

Here's how easy it works:
Let us know at least two weeks in advance of your child's birthday and we will send you an insert for your party invitations explaining your child's request to celebrate by helping others through Change for Children. Donation cards are provided for guests to easily participate or you can set up your own giving page (see above) .

Recognizing your child's accomplishment is an important part of the Global Kids Birthday Club. We will send you an award to acknowledge your child's awesome contribution for you to post at the party.

As an encouraging goal, Birthday Club members who raise $250 or more will be featured in CFCA's Birthday Club webpage (with your permission). All children will receive an award. Contributions of any amount make a difference.

Children are welcome to come to the office to deliver the money raised and get their photo taken or funds can be mailed in (no cash in the mail please) and a photo emailed.

What we need to know:
Birthday Kid's Name, Birthdate & Party Date, Contact info, Chosen project if applicable

Please contact us directly with any questions: shelaine@changeforchildren.org or 780-448-1505.
