Canton’s Glee Gifts partners with Birthday Wishes

Glee Gifts, with boutiques located in Mansfield and Canton, is partnering with Birthday Wishes, a Boston-based nonprofit organization that provides birthday parties for homeless children throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Long Island, New York.

Ann Foley-Collins, owner of Glee Gifts, with Rachel Calabrese, Southeastern Mass. coordinator for Birthday Wishes.

“Unfortunately, children living in homeless shelters miss out on many of the typical childhood traditions, including the celebration of a birthday party,” said Ann Foley-Collins, owner of Glee Gifts. “People come to Glee Gifts to buy special birthday presents. We see firsthand what excitement a birthday party and birthday gift can bring to a child, and want to do our part to help ensure that homeless children are able to experience this simple joy.”

For the balance of 2012, Glee Gifts will donate $1 to Birthday Wishes for each Lolita wine glass sold. The company will also have Birthday Wishes items for sale with proceeds benefiting Birthday Wishes, and in March they will host an event at the Mansfield store, donating 10 percent of the proceeds from that day to Birthday Wishes.

“Birthday Wishes is celebrating its 10th birthday this year,” said Rachel Calabrese, Southeastern Massachusetts Birthday Wishes Coordinator, “and we couldn’t be more pleased than to have Glee Gifts’ support. Ann and the Glee girls understand firsthand how special birthdays are to customers of all ages. It is a wonderful match!”
