Our mission is to provide homeless children in the Puget Sound area with the chance to experience the joy of a birthday party. We strive to give them a sense of hope and encouragement that there are people who care about them during tough times.
We want to make sure that each and every child has the opportunity to sing 'Happy Birthday' and truly enjoy this occasion. We take immense pride in creating a moment of pure joy for those children who are facing adversity.
At Birthday Dreams, we know that even in the most difficult situations, children should have the chance to celebrate their special day. That is why we are committed to making this dream come true!"

- Birthday Dreams was started by two friends, Executive Director Chris Spahn and Director of Operations Shannon Avery. "After attending the annual Holiday Stockings for Homeless Children event at the Coast Guard facility in 2008, [Shannon and I] were stunned to realize just how many children are homeless in our own community ... Research showed us that children who are homeless usually miss out on the birthday party experience," Spahn said. "It was heartbreaking to think that they would have to sit in class and hear other kids talk about the birthday parties, knowing their birthday was coming up ... with no hope of a birthday celebration with friends and family." Spahn and Avery began by hosting group parties at several shelters for homeless people and quickly found that the community loved the idea. Birthday Dreams was born from the outpouring of community support.
