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.

Beautiful I Am is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women and girls to expand their understanding of what is possible and create their own opportunities for success. This organization provides birthday bags for children to Mission of Love Inc. 

The Birthday Giving Program is excited to collaborate with Legacy Wealth Partners! Legacy Wealth Partners is a very generous employer with giving employees who always jump on board to help out in times of need. Several staff members and agents are providing birthday bags to children in need at an organization called Guardian Ad Litem in Tampa, Florida. Legacy Wealth Partners also made a $1,000 donation to The Birthday Giving Program. 

The Birthday Giving Program is excited to partner with Target in Warwick, Rhode Island! Employees packed 20 birthday bags for children in need and donated them to McAuley Village. We look forward to working with Target again later this year!
