Caring Causes: Evite Birthday Heroes

Evite, an online invitation platform, recently challenged America's children to change the world one birthday at a time. "Evite Birthday Heroes", a campaign celebrating children who donate their birthdays to charitable causes, kicks off today with a goal of having one million birthdays donated. This is part of Evite's year-long 20th birthday celebration.

Evite is highlighting Olivia A., Birthday Hero #1 from Louisville, KY. To kick off Birthday Heroes, Evite is highlighting Olivia A., Birthday Hero #1 from Louisville, KY. For her 13th birthday, Olivia teamed up with Uspiritus, a nonprofit dedicated to healing the hearts and minds of vulnerable youth. Olivia turned her birthday party into a community service event packing 'Birthday Kits' for residents of Uspiritus, some of whom have never celebrated their birthday or received a birthday present.

Evite is encouraging Birthday Heroes to use Evite Donations, powered by Pledgeling, to accept charitable donations for a favorite cause, directly via an Evite invitation. Evite never charges a fee to make donations. Constituting approximately 30% of Evite's charitable events, Kids Birthday events account for almost 20% of the $6 million raised in Evite Donations history.
