Make a child's day with a birthday-in-a-box!

Imagine your team laughing, competing, celebrating, and creating the ultimate birthday party package for children who would not otherwise have one. That’s exactly what Build-A-Birthday is all about.

Guided by professional facilitators, your group will be split into teams and dive into a series of fun, high-energy party-themed challenges. Each victory earns you points and supplies to fill up a birthday-in-a-box with decorations, favors, presents, and even a heartfelt card.

The finished wrapped boxes will become full-blown celebrations at local shelters and community centers where our partners throw real birthday parties for kids—candles, cake, and confetti included.

Not only will you and your team strengthen connections and share lots of laughs, but you’ll also deliver a life-changing experience to children who deserve to feel celebrated. Together, you’re creating birthdays that sparkle with joy and memories that last a lifetime.

Tailoring

We can easily adjust the length and messaging of this activity to fit your specific needs. We provide all the bags and everything you need to fill them and will coordinate directly with The Birthday Party Project charity for distribution. In addition to providing the birthday party in a bag, you’re also welcome to fulfill child-specific gift requests as an extra donation.

A recommended extra touch would be to setup a ‘Sweet Treats’ area and sing happy birthday to all the team members celebrating that month!

"One of the best parts of the parties is the birthday kids’ reactions when we place a whole smash cake in front of them and sing! They can’t believe they are getting a cake and a gift that is all theirs. I love watching their reactions and making memories with the kids and their families that will last a lifetime!"
