Raising the barre
Summit's benefit show, Raising the Barre, is back for its fourth year! This annual event has been a dream come true, and we are incredibly proud to use dance as a force for good in our community. The performance will feature all of our Team Dances from the 2024-25 season, a heartfelt speech from our beneficiary representative, and a special stage adaptation of our PSA video shoot.
Before the show, Summit will host a Donation Drive to further support our cause. Sit back, enjoy the performance, and cheer on our talented dancers as we come together to raise funds for our incredible beneficiary—Birthday Dreams!

Bringing joy, hope and dignity to homeless children with a gift of a birthday party.

Imagine waking up on your birthday, excited for the day ahead—only to be met with silence and disappointment. For many homeless children, this is reality. They miss out on the simple joys of childhood, feeling invisible and forgotten. Since our founding in 2009, the objective of our services has been to:
-
ease a child’s resentments and give them hope
-
put homeless children on similar footing with their peers
-
provide a feeling of togetherness and dignity for the entire family
-
show the child that someone cares about them and that they have value
That’s why Birthday Dreams exists. In 2024, we celebrated 1,728 children with birthday parties, but thousands more still go without. Since 2009, our mission has been to bring hope, joy, and dignity to homeless children through the gift of a birthday celebration.
More than just cake and presents, our parties remind these children they are seen, valued, and loved. We are the only organization dedicated solely to celebrating the birthdays of homeless kids, and the demand for our services continues to grow.
With your support, we can bring smiles, hope, and belonging to more children in need. Join us in making a difference—one birthday at a time.
