Celebrate Your Birthday And The Planet

Want to show your youngster how to value social responsibility and environmental awareness while still having a blast? Turn their next birthday party into a celebration of the planet by holding an EchoAge party.

Here’s how it works: online invitations are sent out to guests, and instead of bringing a wrapped gift, they will give an online gift of money. All the cash donations are then pooled, after EchoAge’s 15 percent administration fee, and split in half.

One half is sent to you, the parent of the birthday child, to purchase a single useful and memorable gift for your child, such as a musical instrument or a piece of sporting equipment. The other half goes directly to a charity of your choice. Plus, you get a tax-deductible receipt in the mail.
