Celebrate Your Birthday with Concern

Instead of receiving gifts, invite your friends, family, and loved ones to donate to Concern Worldwide. By choosing to celebrate your birthday in this meaningful way, you can help provide life-saving support—like food, clean water, healthcare, and education—to communities facing extreme poverty. Every birthday can be a step towards building brighter futures for those who need it most. 

Here are some creative ways to celebrate your birthday while supporting Concern’s vital work around the world: 

Donation Instead of Gifts: Make your birthday a day of generosity by asking friends and family to donate to Concern instead of giving gifts. Every donation, no matter how small, can provide life-saving resources like food, water, and education to the world’s most vulnerable communities. 

Host a Themed Party with a Purpose: Celebrate your special day with a party that makes an impact! Choose a theme you love and invite guests to donate as part of the celebration. Whether it’s a fancy dress party or a casual gathering, you’ll bring people together for a great cause. 

Take on a Personal Challenge: Set a meaningful goal and use your birthday to inspire others to support Concern. Whether it’s running a race, completing a creative project, or giving up a favourite treat for the month, your challenge will motivate others to contribute to your fundraiser. 

Share Your Talents: Turn your skills into an opportunity to give back. Bake some treats, create handmade crafts, or perform music—all while inviting your network to donate in exchange. Your talents can bring joy to others and make a real difference. 

Celebrate Virtually: Bring your loved ones together from anywhere in the world by hosting an online birthday celebration. Share your story, explain why Concern’s mission matters to you, and invite them to donate as their way of joining the celebration.
