Family Choice Award Winner
The Family Choice Awards Recognizes the best in travel, children, parenting and pet products and resources. This award program is one of the most coveted, family friendly consumer awards programs in the nation.
It may not be an Oscar – but for these two moms who brought the idea of birthday giving and getting to life – we humbly thank our own academy of families, friends and children who encouraged us to jump in, take a chance and not turn back.
A giant thank you from us, to all of you!

Balance beams, back bends and birthday cake were the main attraction at this birthday party but Brielle and her friends also made giving a part of this birthday celebration.
Here is what Brielle had to say about her charity choice. “I chose the Make-a-Wish Foundation because I wanted to help sick kids my age, older and younger to make their last wish come true and help them go places and meet their heroes.”
Looks like we found our real hero in you, Brielle.
Thank you for starting your ECHO at such a young age.

“I chose to support the George Hull Centre for Children and Families because I wanted to help kids who are sad or angry and don’t know what to do. I’ve never done an ECHOage party before but I’m really glad I did it because it feels good to help people and I still get to have a fun party with all of my friends – we went bowling!”
The Centre provides professional consultation, support and family treatment for a broad range of problems affecting the mental health of children and youth.
Happy 8th birthday to you Tessa! We hope that you had fun shopping at Mastermind Toys and Indigo. We would love to hear all about the gifts and books that you chose.
You’ve already made this year extra special by reaching out and helping other young kids in need feel better!

Ryan’s Mom said, “After viewing CARE’s commercial, Ryan was moved to action when he saw how one hand can help another.”
Great things certainly can happen when we lend a hand and Ryan’s All-Star line up of birthday buddies helped CARE achieve their goals or defending dignity and fighting poverty. Way to go Ryan. 
Thanks Ryan for being such a great team player and for lending your hand to this very meaningful charity. We hope that you have tons of fun playing and inventing with your Skylanders and Lego Ninjago.
Happy 7th Birthday Ryan.
