The Birthday Party Project Turns 7, Jan. 26, and founder Paige Chenault is celebrating with a sold-out event at The Bomb Factory. The Birthday Party Project helps homeless kids by celebrating their birthdays. The neighbor and former event planner leads a team of volunteers in 13 cities to throw monthly celebrations for children in homeless and transitional living facilities. Themes include county fair with a petting zoo, monster mash, superheroes and more. Even though individual tickets for Saturday’s event are sold out, sponsorships may still be available. Guests at the fundraiser are dressing up as their favorite movie characters. All of the tickets sales and sponsorships go directly to the birthday party mission. Suzanne Droese and Tess and Ian Kinsler will be honored. Names on the host committee include neighbor Lillie Neubauer and Annie and Jordan Spieth.
