At RabbleOn, we believe in the power of celebrating life’s most precious moments and creating lasting memories which is why we have partnered up with The Birthday Party Project. The Birthday Party Project believes that JOY changes lives, and a JOYful community can change the world!
Do you remember your favorite birthday party as a child? Mine was my 6th birthday party celebrated at our pool with endless Marco Polo games, a new pink bike with streamers from my parents, and my best friends singing “Happy Birthday” to me over a purple confetti cake. The love I felt that day from friends and family was immeasurable.
The Birthday Party Project brings JOY to homeless children through the MAGIC of birthdays and give parties to those that otherwise may never celebrate a birthday in their childhood. RabbleOn’s partnership with The Birthday Party Project comes from our deep belief that everyone should be celebrated.
Paige Chenault, Founder of The Birthday Party Project, was a wedding planner for over a decade. In 2012, Paige was flipping through a magazine reading about kids' birthday parties and she switched it for another magazine where the image of a little boy from Haiti was standing all alone in a dusty street. In that moment, “I realized that they were children in our community that also needed to be celebrated,” says Paige. Combing her background in events, she decided to partner with Family Gateway, a local shelter in Dallas, Texas. Paige committed to a need for consistency for the children and the beginnings of The Birthday Party Project were made.
Fast-forward to today and The Birthday Party Project recently celebrated its 7thBirthday! We sat down with Kimberly Nielsen from The Birthday Party Project to learn a bit more about what has made them an ever-growing success story.
How many parties has The Birthday Project hosted?
Since 2012, we have hosted more than 1,800 parties with over 8,800 birthday's celebrated. Over 51,000 kids have attended the parties!

Through our partnership, RabbleOn is giving back to help host The Birthday Party Project’s monthly birthday parties. We want to help every child to feel seen and to experience play, fun, and JOY! For there is nothing really sweeter in life than experiencing joy through a child’s eye, is there?
