Bringing Joy Where It’s Needed Most.
Because Every Child Deserves a
Happy Birthday.
Too many children in foster care, in shelters, or from struggling families go without cake, candles, or even a simple “Happy Birthday.” We’ve made it our mission to change that. At Cortesano Foundation, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, loved, and celebrated, especially on their birthday. We’re here to change that, with a little bit of magic, and a whole lot of sprinkles.
