Birthday Wishes – Miles for Milestones
Running to Celebrate, Empower, and Uplift
Join the Birthday Wishes team at the Battlegreen Run as we run—not just for the finish line, but for every child who deserves to feel celebrated on their birthday.
Each mile we complete supports Birthday Wishes’ trauma-informed Birthday-in-a-Box Program, which brings joy, connection, and dignity to children and teens living in shelters across New England. For families experiencing homelessness, even a simple birthday celebration can feel out of reach. We’re here to change that.
Your support helps us:
- Deliver thousands of personalized Birthday-in-a-Box celebrations each year
- Provide gift cards to teens so they can choose a birthday gift that reflects their identity and dreams
- Empower caregivers to create joyful, meaningful moments that strengthen the parent-child bond
“Watching her smile, seeing her excited to blow out the candles—I can’t put into words how much it meant to us. It reminded me that we’re not just surviving; we’re healing, together.”
— Lexi’s Mom, recipient of a Birthday-in-a-Box
Our team goal is to raise $10,000, and with your help, we can get there. Whether you join the team, sponsor a runner, or make a gift—you’ll be turning miles into milestones for children who need it most.
Run with us. Walk with us. Fundraise with us.
Let’s make every birthday count.
