We are overjoyed to announce that Birthday Box Foundation was named the 2025 Nonprofit of the Year at the Eagle Mountain Chamber Gala!

This incredible honor recognizes the impact we are making in the lives of children and families throughout our community — and it belongs to every volunteer, donor, and supporter who believes in the magic of a birthday celebration.

This award is a testament to the idea that when a community comes together with a shared heart for service, we can change lives. It fuels our commitment to continue growing, innovating, and advocating for every child to feel loved, valued, and celebrated.

Thank you to the Eagle Mountain Chamber of Commerce for recognizing our work — and to our entire Birthday Box family for making this possible.
