Do you recall the thrill and anticipation that filled the air as your birthday approached each year? The joyous celebrations with friends, the excitement of unwrapping presents, and the moment you blew out the candles on your cake?

Now, can you imagine that there are children who might not have the chance to experience that joy?

We certainly find it hard to believe!

Every month, following the membership meeting, Bay Area Service Teens come together to create special kits filled with everything needed for a birthday party, along with a small gift and a handwritten card.

Through their philanthropic program, Birthday in a Box, at-risk students at two elementary schools in the Clear Creek ISD and Dickinson ISD get to enjoy this important childhood milestone.
