Birthday Fundraising
Celebrate your Big Day while making a life-changing gift of hope
Make Milestones Matter
Give back and dedicate your birthday to the mental health movement by asking those you love (and who love you!) to make a life-changing gift of hope in lieu of presents.
Your birthday becomes a platform for advocacy and compassion. You’re not only raising funds for essential mental health initiatives but also fostering awareness and education about mental wellness.
“I hope that the money I raised [for my birthday] will help people become educated on mental health. Even if the money raised only helps one person, I know that it’s something that will help change and improve the world…”

Start Your Birthday Fundraiser!
Hosting a fundraiser on your special day means celebrating your birthday with a greater purpose and promoting a future where mental health is better valued, appreciated, and supported.
Below are some options on how to get started.
Create a Custom Birthday Page
(⭐ BEST OPTION)
With just a few questions, you get a customizable page to tell your community why mental health matters to you. Your page can be shared with your network who can leave comments, say ‘Happy Birthday’ and make a 100% tax-deductible donation using a credit or debit card, Venmo, PayPal, or ACH. We’ll provide eye-catching templates and graphics, and you can even link your fundraiser to Facebook, in addition to sharing your link on other social media platforms.
Start a Facebook Fundraiser
Start here if you only want to fundraise using Facebook’s fundraising tool. We’ve provided some sample text and graphics, but feel free to personalize it so it fits your style.
When you’re ready, click “Create” and launch your fundraiser. Once created, you’ll manage your fundraiser directly on Facebook.

TIP: Start your Custom Birthday Page BEFORE your Facebook Fundraiser
Example Fundraiser
29029 Everesting by Tailor Knight. For her 18th birthday, Tailor had 36 hours to hike the elevation gain of 29,029 ft (the same as Mount Everest). She decided to combine her physical feat with a purpose greater than hiking.
