HELLO, ATLANTA! Or: Welcome, Friends of Reva!

As you all know, the running theme of our blog posts is being overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of our friends and family. Today's entry is no exception as we welcome some new Birthday Box Buddies all the way from Atlanta. Longtime FOOF (Friend of Orlansky Family) Hannah Hart Martin and her husband, Will (also a FOOF, if less long-time), contacted us about using their sweet Reva Pearl's birthday celebration as a Birthday Box fundraiser. We, of course, were floored (again) and thrilled (again) to take this fiesta over state lines. 

So, welcome Reva Revelers! Here's how this works: you give us birthday party supplies, and we provide prepackaged birthday parties for children in need. It's that simple! You can either bring Birthday Box supplies to Reva's celebration, or you can visit our Amazon Wish List and have those items shipped directly to our house. Last year we were able to give nearly 100 birthday parties to Jackson youth, and we're hopeful that we'll be able to crush that number this year. 

Here's what we're asking for:

• birthday cake mix
• frosting
• candles
• party hats
• confetti
• small party favors
• birthday cards
• reasonable (as if there is such a thing) noisemakers
• paper decorations

We politely request that you refrain from donating silly string, poppers, and perishables.

If you have any questions, you can email us at birthdayboxjxn@gmail.com or leave your query in the comments section.

A big thank you to the Martins for their partnership, and an even bigger thank you to those of you who will help expand the project through your donation. 

Happy Birthday Reva Pearl! We love you, kid.
