Thinking of hosting a charitable birthday party? Here are a few things to consider: „ Before your child’s birthday, ask if he would like to have a charitable party. If, up to this point you have been doing altruistic acts as a family, he will probably agree. „ Proceed with charitable party plans only if your child is in total agreement. You don’t want him to feel coerced into it, nor do you want him to feel guilty if he doesn’t want to have one. „ There are two ways to host a charitable party: opt out of party frills and make a contribution yourself, or ask guests to participate in the charitable giving process. Talk with your child about what he thinks is the best option. „ Choose a non-profit organization that will appeal to your child. If he is old enough, get his input. Tap into his interests so it will be meaningful to him. If he loves animals, look for a local animal refuge. If he’s into art, find an art organization. You could even adopt an underprivileged family with children the same age as yours. „ Once an organization has been chosen, contact them and ask what is needed, either monetary donations or specific items. „ If you choose to have guests participate in the gift-giving process, include a note explaining your effort when you send out invitations. If specific items are needed, make suggestions. „ Once the party is over, include your child in the giving transaction. If goods need to be delivered, take his picture with the items and have him go along. If giving to a specific family, have him write a note letting the recipients know he was glad to help. If monetary donations were made, include him in as much of the process as possible. „ Give your child lots of praise for sharing his birthday and encourage giving throughout the year.
