2022 Impact Report
Thank you to our loyal supporters and volunteers! Because of you, we continue to inspire and recognize our neighbors on their special day by fulfilling our mission to celebrate the value and importance of underserved youth, I/DD individuals, and seniors in Polk County on their birthday.
The combination of our all-volunteer team who works tirelessly to help others and the generosity of our supporters continues to make such a positive impact on our community. Together, we know every day is an opportunity to help someone in need celebrate their special day. Because of this dedication, our last fiscal year was a record-breaking year in every way, including dollars raised, volunteer hours worked, and the number of individuals served.
