ABOUT THESE CARDS:
* Quality - these cards are manufactured by one of the premier card manufacturer's in the world and feature high quality materials as well as handcrafted designs.
* Value - with the Birthday and All Occasion boxes of 35 cards selling for $35, the individual cost is $1 per card. That kind of pricing is equivalent to Dollar store pricing but these cards are anything but "Dollar Store".
* Convenience - one of the biggest selling features of our boxes is the convenience of having a box of beautiful cards on hand when you need one. No more trips out to buy just one card.
All proceeds from this fundraiser will support vulnerable kids in our community. We believe that every child deserves to feel special and celebrated on their birthday, and we invite you to party-it-forward with us! Sales are open until November 17, 2024. Your cards can be picked up from The Happy Birthday Project / Made by Momma resource centre in West Hillhurst NW after November 28th. (we will email you when they are available for pick up)
* Orders are open until November 17th, 2024.
* Cards must be picked up from our resource centre in late November (exact date to be determined, date will be emailed to you once confirmed)
* Cards not picked up by December 21st, 2024 at 1pm will be considered a donation to our program.
THANK YOU for supporting kids in our community!
