Celebrate Birthdays is a Fundraiser to collect new gifts for children affected by domestic violence. I have partnered with Turning Point of McHenry County, who help support these children and their mothers. Every year, on the child's birthday, they receive one gift from the selection Turning Point has. My wish for these children is to have a larger selection since they only choose one gift. We all know a child who receives many gifts on their birthdays. My goal is to provide a bigger selection for these kids, at the very least.

One new, unwrapped gift donation will provide each guest two drink tickets, appetizers, photo booth, DJ and a raffle sponsored by local businesses. For the guests that prefer to donate money towards teenage children, a monetary donation will provide Turning Point the ability to purchase a gift card for that child. This portal is also for anyone who could not attend this event, but still interested in participating.

All of these proceeds go directly to purchasing gifts for these children.
