Rosie’s Birthday Club is still growing and evolving. We are grateful to have received great media attention for Rosie’s kids, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with our media outlets.

As an individual, one of the greatest gifts you can give us is to spread the word about Rosie’s Birthday Club. We have so many friends in the community, but in order to truly grow and celebrate more children we need more people to be aware of our mission.

The First Thirty Elevator Project

In December, Rosie’s Birthday Club proudly sponsored a Rockford-based edition of The First Thirty Elevator Project – an initiative that recognizes people for making a special effort to make others feel welcomed. Each honoree gets a copy of the book, The First Thirty, co-authored by Jillip Naysinthe Paxson and Greg Forbes Siegman. The book tells the story of a person who tries to make a difference in his or her community. The story begins and ends on the main character’s birthday – a fitting connection to Rosie’s Birthday Club. Click the link to see pictures of the recipients – as well as pictures of other recipients over the years.
