Founders Story

I launched, The Birthday Bash Project after the original organization, Box of Balloons dissolved in 2025.  I believed deeply in the mission and didn’t want the work of celebrating children in our community to end. By starting the nonprofit, I am able to continue providing birthday party boxes so every child has the chance to feel special, seen, loved, and celebrated on their birthday. -Julie Hardy
