Hi! My name is AJ Pesce. During the month of February, instead of receiving birthday gifts, I raise money for a good cause. This year, I turn 14 on the 14th and it will be my 5th fundraiser. I will be raising money for Blythedale Children's Hospital. The last time I chose this organization, I was able to raise almost $2,000 which helped fund exciting events, such as a traveling petting zoo, for the children at Blythedale!

I am really excited that the money raised this month will fund a brand new, awesome program at Blythedale! Since there are children who are patients at Blythedale on their birthdays, I am helping to kickstart the creation of Birthday Boxes! These fun boxes will be customized to a child's age, gender, and interests, and will contain items to decorate their room, along with other birthday surprises! Even though these kids don’t want to be in the hospital for their birthday, I am so happy that these Birthday Boxes will help put a smile on their faces for their special day!

So, for MY birthday, please join me in making their birthdays a fun experience at Blythedale!! Each box costs $30 and my goal is to fund 75 boxes (but you can donate any dollar amount you wish!). Let’s go!!!!!!
