Cigna - Generations ERG

---

The Birthday Giving Program is excited to announce our partnership with Cigna’s Generations ERG Program! Cigna has made a $2,500 donation to our organization and we will be hosting various virtual and in-person events together. We held two virtual events this past February and Cigna employees made hundreds of beautiful, hand-decorated birthday cards for our recipients! 

Along with making birthdays cards, Cigna employees from Kansas, Wisconsin, Missouri, North Carolina, California, and Pennsylvania have been packing birthday bags and donating them to nonprofits in their communities. 

The Birthday Giving Program is partnered with the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Dover, DE. Each month, they are providing birthday bags to children through the Greater Dover Boys and Girls Club.

The Birthday Giving Program is excited to partner with Legacy Wealth Partners! Legacy Wealth Partners is a very generous employer with generous employees who always jump on board to help out in times of need. Lana and several of her co-workers are providing birthday bags to children in need at an organization called Guardian Ad Litem in Tampa, FL. Lana has two adult kids and two grandkids, and spends most of her down time with her fabulous husband of 30+ years. 

CC Links is an organization in Ozark, MO that supports individuals with special needs. The mission of their participation with The Birthday Giving Program is to provide an opportunity for individuals with special needs to give back to their community and bring a smile to someone’s face. CC Links is currently providing birthday bags to the The Baptist Home in Ozark.
