Chattanooga Birthday Buddies came to life from a moment of inspiration while my husband and I were putting together Easter baskets for our 3 sons. We were at Learning Express Toys which has a “Birthday Bin” toy registry.

I searched and reached out to local organizations who serve children and found that there is a need for children’s birthday gifts for local non-profits. I personally meet with the organizations involved in Birthday Buddies with the goal of learning about the services they provide, understanding their needs, and creating lasting relationships. I hope Birthday Buddies accomplishes three things:
