Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday, Sunbeam Kids,
Happy birthday to you!
Sunbeam Kids is a teenager! You’re invited to celebrate 13 years of lending a hand at our birthday party! We're so excited to commemorate all the ways these little hands (and now big hands!) have made a difference throughout the years.
Please join us from 2-4 pm on Sunday, August 23rd. All are welcome at this gathering- whether you're a regular volunteer or haven't joined for a project lately, we would love to see you. Registration is required. We have a fun afternoon planned with activities, snacks, some mini volunteer projects, and few surprises, too!
Registration:
Registration is required using this link. Event will be held rain or shine. We will send more details to those registered closer to the date, including an expected timeline for the event. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of the families that have made Sunbeam Kids shine brightly these last 13 years -- thank you for lending a little hand!
Meta House Project Details:
As part of our birthday celebration, we will also have a project you can participate in--making “Birthday Party in a Bag” kits for Meta House.
Meta House is a treatment facility helping moms overcome substance abuse. One of the things that sets it apart is allowing children to stay with their mothers during inpatient treatment. These mothers face many challenges, and often are not able to give their children a birthday party with all of the fun things that we usually associate with such occasions. If you are able, please sign up to bring either a small gift and gift bag or a box of cake mix and frosting (sign up HERE). We’ll assemble the party kits together during our birthday party. There’s no better way to celebrate SBK’s birthday than by helping moms set their kids up for some birthday fun as well!
Teen Leadership Board Meeting:
For the last half hour of the party, members of our new Teen Leadership Board will meet briefly to discuss upcoming opportunities and tie dye special teen leader shirts.
Youth Leaders Wanted:
We have a few leadership opportunities for our Youth Leadership Board Members (or anyone age 10+ that’s interested) to help out at the party. Sign up HERE for an hour time slot, and we’ll be touch about specific ways you can help, such as supervising an activity.
Can’t make it that day but still want to help celebrate this milestone? You can register to drop off "birthday party in a bag" supplies ahead of time at our porch drop off location in Pewaukee.
Thank you for lending a little hand all of these years!
