When we became parents, one of the main things we wanted to teach our children is that you are never too young to make a difference in the world. Our hope is that we are raising kind humans. For Miles’s 5th birthday he asked to do a fundraiser to help donate money to save endangered animals. He had something on his heart and wanted to figure out a way to help. That year he sold drawings of animals to family and friends and the annual birthday fundraiser was born!

Since then his younger brother, Ryder, has joined him! This is our 9th year to do a birthday fundraiser and in the past 8 years our boys have raised over $40,000 for different causes.

This year, we want to focus on Dyslexia awareness in honor of Ryder and his diagnosis! We want to give back to the Dyslexia teachers and students by making them feel seen and celebrated!
