Bring Birthday Joy with The Dre Project

Birthday Boxes

Join us this season at Connections Learning Lab as we partner with The Dre Project to bring birthday joy to local families in need. Together, we’re creating Birthday Boxes to ensure that no child or family has to miss out on the happiness of celebrating a birthday, even in tough times.

About the Event

Each Birthday Box includes everything needed for a fun and memorable birthday celebration, with essentials like cake mix, frosting, candles, and some festive touches. The Dre Project delivers 50 Birthday Boxes each month to families facing hardships, and we’re honored to help bring that joy to more families this December.

How You Can Help

 We need your support to make this happen! You can participate by sponsoring a Birthday Box with either a supply donation or a cash donation to help us gather enough items. We’re asking each participant to donate enough supplies to build at least one Birthday Box per person. Here’s what goes into each box:

  • 1 disposable baking pan
  • 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
  • 1 tub of frosting (any kind)
  • 1 packet of birthday candles
  • 1 can of soda (Sprite is preferred)
  • 1 homemade birthday card (feel free to make it generic for any age/gender)
  • Optional extras: a couple of balloons, noisemakers, festive paper plates

 

Join Us on Assembly Day!

On December 5th at 1:30 PM at Connections Learning Lab, we’ll be gathering to assemble these Birthday Boxes. This is a community event open to everyone – kids, parents, grandparents, friends – and we’d love for you to join us in bringing joy to others!
