She wants to be the kind of person who helps other children. She already had a big impact.
Ellette chose Action Against Hunger Canada to be the recipient of half the funds raised at her ECHOage party. In her words:
“It makes me really sad that some kids don’t have any food and I really wanted to help them. All kids should have good, healthy food.”
Eight Year Old Ellette is Exceptional
Mario Chose Wisely

We meet a lot of those kids.
Mario is that child. This 3 year old boy (yes, he’s 3, and cares about others) chose Because I Am A Girl as his ECHOage charity. Why? Mario say: “Because all humans need to have the same rights.” Yes, he’s only 3. We swear. ECHOage is a labour of love in more ways than one…
Kids Can Do So Much More Than Adults Think.
Our Amazing Hero Mario
Meet a uniquely inspiring kid: Darwin.

Darwin. A boy on a mission. A boy with wisdom. Darwin chose to support SickKids at his ECHOage Birthday. In his own words:
I care about people and people are good. You have to help people who are sick so they get better.
And Darwin chose some pretty unique gifts:
Because I care about animals and nature, and its good to care about animals and nature.
Darwin is our hero.

Roohi is our hero…this is why we love ECHOage

Roohi celebrated her 12th birthday with ECHOage and supported the Canadian Cancer Society and got lots of books. In her own words:
It is my strongest desire to see cancer eradicated. I have seen firsthand the effect is has on the person afflicted with it, AND their family and friends. I lost my maternal grandmother to it, and I don’t want anyone else to be lost to this monster. One day, I will be able to word directly towards making the world cancer-free. Until then, I will do my best to support the people who are already working towards this same aim.
Thank you to The New Family

ECHOage was so thrilled to be profiled in the The New Family: Modern Views On Family Life. We loved their piece: 7 Tips for a Less Commercial and More Meaningful Holiday. These tips apply all year round. We agree, a resounding: Yes! Thank you to The New Family, from ECHOage XO.
It’s fun to shower our children with toys. But when multiple sets of grandparents and other relatives are doing the same, it can add up to a crazy amount of presents that can leave us feeling a little queasy, especially when you consider that many people in the world aren’t lucky enough to have the funds for even a very basic holiday, let alone an extravagant one.
It’s time we start teaching our children that getting less and giving more is one of the foundations of a happy life.
Consider how powerful even a group of children can be when they decide to take a philanthropic approach to their birthdays.
Chloe thinks about other kids
Posted: February 1, 2018 Filed under: Birthday Gifts, Charity, Charity birthday party, ECHOage Birthday Parties, Gifts, kids birthday party ideas, Make-A-Wish Canada, Stories about children Leave a commentDuring Christmas time, Chloe received a lot of treats from her grandmas. She asked her mom: “What happens to children who don’t have any grandmas? How do they get treats?” So Chloe and her mom found an organization that focuses on less fortunate children, helping them get ‘treats’ or ‘wishes’ too. Make-A-Wish Canada got new funds donated to them from Chloe Kim’s 9th Birthday. Thank you Chloe. You inspire us and surely your actions will inspire others. Happy Birthday to an amazing girl. Love ECHOage XOXO
CHLOE KIM IS OUR HERO

This charity has worked for over 30 years to expose animal cruelty and prevent animal suffering. Leo, you really made a difference in the world. You protected so many animals. We congratulate you.

Isabelle Shines Her Light
Posted: January 16, 2018 Filed under: Birthday Gifts, Charity, Charity birthday party, ECHOage Birthday Parties, Gifts, kids birthday party ideas, Stories about children Leave a commentEvery once in awhile you meet a child who changes your perspective. Meet Isabelle.
In her own words:
“I was born 2 months early and was diagnosed with Hirschsprungs. I spent the first two months of my life in the hospital and was taken care of by some amazing doctors and nurses. The hospitals I stayed at were UAB Hospital and Childrens Hospital, Birmingham AL. I choose to support SickKids to give back because there are a lot of kids that need help.”
And why did Isabelle choose Bloxels Build and Kano Kit as her gifts?
“I love coding and building things as well as playing Minecraft and digital games. I thought it would be cool to learn how to design my own video game and build my own computer.”
Isabelle, you are a child who has impacted the adults around you. All of us at ECHOage are feeling this way. Happy Birthday to you, you are an amazing girl. Kids can do so much more than adults think! Our smiles and thanks go to you Isabelle, Love ECHOage XO
Hudson wants to make wishes come true
Posted: January 9, 2018 Filed under: Charity, Charity birthday party, ECHOage Birthday Parties, ECHOage Heroes and Amazing Birthday Ideas, Gifts, kids birthday party ideas, Make-A-Wish Canada, Stories about children Leave a commentYou’re never too young to make a difference. Meet Hudson. He’s 4 years old. But that doesn’t stop him. Hudson chose Make-A-Wish Canada for his ECHOage Party. When Hudson met a young boy at Disney Land who was there for his wish, he became inspired to help other children. What a generous leader! And our hero Hudson is quiet creative – he wants lego, a bird feeder so he can watch birders, and some art supplies. Hudson, today you are our special hero. Happy Birthday Hudson From ECHOage! XO
ECHOage - Get great gifts. Give to charity.
