Happy First Day of June 🏳️🌈
We’re just one month into the 8th Annual Birthday Toy Drive & we already have so much amazing news to share!
First up — we’ve already surpassed 100 toy donations! Thanks to the generosity of Blu Track, Pittsburgh Ultimate, North Star Toys & so many other donors, we hit this exciting milestone early.
A huge shoutout to Moni Bakes Sweet Dreams for hosting a delicious bake sale that raised $190 to purchase toys, helping us reach that 100+ total! The sale featured Matcha Tiramisu, Mango Coconut Topped Cheesecake & Lucky Charms Cheesecake — yum! Be sure to follow Moni Bakes Sweet Dreams on Instagram for future bake sales & to place your own order.

Next — we held our first-ever Birthday Toy Drive Yard Sale! Thanks to the support of multiple families and community donations, we raised $143.50 over three days! Every dollar went directly toward buying more toys. We’d love to know — would you be interested in participating in next year’s yard sale?
One month down means we’re one day closer to the party! We cannot wait to celebrate with you on July 19th at Trace Brewing! It’s always a great time for the whole family & this year will be no different. We’ll have:
- Live music by The Goodfoots
- Ice cream from Bruster’s of McMurray
- Mini golf with Steel City Mobile Mini Golf
- Photography by Ashley Anne Photography 412
The BTD Party is for everyone — toddlers to great-grandparents — and we love seeing your pups & guinea pigs, too! PS This year, we’ll be turning the music down a bit to keep it comfortable for all.
We’re also incredibly proud to announce that our Titanium Sponsor for 2025 is Steel City Pediatric Dentistry! Located in Sewickley, PA (just west of downtown Pittsburgh), their mission is to make going to the dentist a fun & friendly experience for kids. We’re so excited to share more about them soon.
Welcome back to our returning sponsors: Steel City Mobile Mini Golf, Talent Scout Pittsburgh & Sara Leitrera, Realtor & a big welcome to our new sponsor, Natural Funeral Company! For more information about sponsoring this year’s party, please visit our sponsor page.
One of the best parts of the party? Our raffle! 100% of raffle proceeds go directly toward purchasing toys for The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh. This year’s raffle includes: a Artist Collaboration Basket by Burgh Crafted in Pittsburgh put together by Luluz Design & prizes from Moonlit Burgers, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hoss’s, Fun Fore All Family Fun Park, ASCEND, big Burrito, Keystone Safari & more!
