Cupcake Crawl

About the Cupcake Crawl

We all Love Birthdays and Cupcakes, but what if you did not have a chance to Celebrate your Birthday or even worse, no one recognized you with even a Happy Birthday greeting on your special day? That is the reality for many of the foster children and children in need that we serve. Celebrate Birthdays is a 501c3 Charity Non-Profit organization whose mission is to ensure that every foster child and all children, regardless of personal or financial circumstances, has the opportunity to Celebrate their Birthday and receive a present! We need your support to help continue celebrating the increased number of children every month!
