Everyone has their own way of observing a birthday. Here at DonorsChoose.org, we’ve established a unique tradition for celebrating our colleague’s birthdays filled with tons of fanfare (and a dash of self-deprecation). On the day of, Allyson trades in her Office Manager cap for a party hat and sends out a personalized “Happy Birthday” message to our entire staff. The messages are not only quirky, but occasionally revealing!
Here’s a small taste of how hilarious these emails can get:
It’s that Atlantic-City-Gambling, W-36th-St-Restaurant-Dwelling, Playing-Tennis-Against-Charles-and-Losing, Former-Corvette-Driving, Spreadsheet-Loving,Wharton-MBA-Earning, Stella-Drinking, Shakira-Karaoke-Singing, Soon-To-Be-With-Parents-Living, 1AM-Dashboard-Sending, Executive Vice President of Operations Cesar Bocanegra’s Birthday(Cheers! Excitement! Balloons!)
This spring, a handful of our colleagues (Abby, Alan, Frankie, Kris, Kirk) have opted for a new way to celebrate, by donating their birthdays to our Great Give-Back Birthday online celebration.
We hope that you’ll consider joining in on our party and donating your birthday, as well.
