Brightening Lives of Foster Children
At Speak Up For Kids our Gift-A-Birthday Program, we're on a mission to bring joy to foster children.
Our goal is simple:
replace forgotten birthdays
with unforgettable celebrations.
NOMINATE A CHILD FOR A BIRTHDAY CAKE & CELEBRATION
Every birthday deserves a little extra sweetness!
Have a child in foster care with a birthday coming up? Nominate them for birthday cake and matching treats through Speak Up For Kids’ Gift-A-Birthday™ program, with a sweet donation from MJM Cuban Sweets!
Each month, one nominated child may be selected to receive an 8-inch cake and 36 matching treats. Foster families, relative caregivers, group homes and care teams in Palm Beach County are welcome to nominate.
Nominations are open year-round! Please nominate ahead of your child’s birthday when possible. Selection depends on availability, scheduling and the baker’s ability to meet food needs. A nomination does not guarantee a package, and photos or publicity are never required.
QUESTIONS? EMAIL US. Please keep children’s names, photos and personal details out of public comments.
"I was elated that they took the time to come celebrate with me." - Jaleesa, Former Foster Youth
We need community support to make every child's birthday special with cake, balloons, cards, and gifts.
"For me, birthdays just meant one more year in care... Just another day that reminded me of how sad I was to be in the foster care system." - Krizia, Former Foster Youth
By creating joyful memories, we break the cycle of abuse and neglect. Your support can make a difference. Join us in brightening these young lives.
