Everyday Is Your Birthday Foundation Profile

Can you imagine how life would be like if everyday was your birthday? Everyone around you will always be cheerful, loving, and attentive to all your needs. Everyone would treat you in an extra special way. Wouldn’t that be great? I’m sure all of us would want that!

Unfortunately, some people, especially children don’t have that kind of privilege. Not everyday, not even one day in the year.

That is why Everyday Is Your Birthday Foundation was created. To make the unfortunate ones feel the love and support they need, and make them feel that everyday IS their birthday!

For over seven years now, Everyday Is Your Birthday Foundation has been encouraging people to share their blessings with the less fortunate. Hundreds of individuals have done just that for orphans, street kids, children with illnesses, and even the forgotten elderly through EIYBF by celebrating their birthdays (and other occasions) with them.

EIYBF was born last September 5, 2000, during the birthday celebration of founder, Patricia “Shaan” Bermudez at Damas de Filipinas Orphanage, in Paco Manila. Since then, scores of individuals, young and old, have been following her example and have celebrated their birth anniversaries with EIYBF.

EIYBF gathers donations (cash donations, old and new toys, books, clothes, etc.) to give to the less fortunate from the celebrant, the celebrant’s family and friends, and from companies and corporations.

But more than just the gifts and donations, the celebration is also about building a “relationship” between the children and the volunteers who instantly become big brothers and big sisters. For the elderly, the volunteers become part of the family.

EIYBF has planned, organized, even marketed hundreds of birthday celebrations wherein the celebrant and his / her family and friends share the most special gift of all. Love.

The benefits of celebrating birthdays through EIYBF are endless. We know that EIYBF is valuable because it teaches people to reach out. It shows people the realities of the less privileged sector. And it encourages volunteerism, especially to the younger generation.

Our mission is to inspire more people to reach out. Our goal is to be part of e every Filipino’s birthday tradition. Our dream is to make the “forgotten” ones feel like everyday IS their birthday!
