Giving Back on your Birthday

Are you having a birthday party anytime soon? Even though it’s your special day, there is a way to make it special for others as well.

Go to the website ECHOage (www.ECHOage.com) where you and your parents can plan a party with a difference. You send out online invitations to your friends (saving paper and trees). They contribute money to your party via the website instead of buying you a gift. When all the money is collected it’s divided in half — half of it is used to buy you one great gift, the other half is sent to a charity chosen by you and your parents.

How cool is that? You still get a gift, give back to the community and have a rockin’ party as well!
