SPONSOR A BIRTHDAY

For one day, let a kid pick the meal

A birthday they get to choose

It was the first time I got to order whatever I wanted. I picked the big one.

When Maya turned ten, her mom was working a double shift and a restaurant dinner wasn’t in the budget — the way it hadn’t been for most of Maya’s birthdays. Then her school handed her a small stack of Breadcoins. That evening, her whole family sat down at the pizzeria on the corner, and Maya ordered first. And she ordered dessert, too.

For families stretched thin, a birthday meal out can feel impossible, and the day slips by like any other. Breadcoin changes that — one child at a time.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to one good day

We partner with local schools to find the kids, and with local restaurants to feed them. You make it possible.

A school spots a birthday

Our school partners identify a student whose birthday is coming up — kids in their own community who need it most.

The child gets $60 in Breadcoin

That’s 20 coins — enough for a full celebration meal for the child and their family of four at a neighborhood restaurant.

They choose, and they celebrate

The family decides where to go and what to order, then sits down together for a birthday meal that’s entirely theirs.

We don’t plan the party. We hand the choice — where to eat, what to order — to the family who knows their child best.
