How The Celebration Got Started

In 2011, our founder, Megs Yunn, met a young girl named, Beverly, at a local after-school program. Megs was helping her with her reading homework and Beverly had to use the word accustomed to in a sentence. Not knowing the word's meaning, Ms. Megs asked, “Beverly, at birthday parties, people are accustomed to eating what?” Beverly responded that she had never had a birthday party of her own or even a slice of her own birthday cake. Inspired by this interaction, Megs started the nonprofit, Beverly’s Birthdays, to provide meaningful birthday celebrations for children experiencing homelessness and families in need.
