At Maxwell Locke & Ritter, giving back to our community is an important part of who we are, and this year’s Summer Firmwide gave our team the opportunity to decorate birthday boxes and fill birthday goody bags for children in foster care.
ML&R was proud to support Pop-Up Birthday, a local nonprofit that brings joy, hope, and a sense of normalcy to children in foster care through personalized birthday experiences.
Pop-Up Birthday creates customized birthday boxes filled with everything needed to help a child feel celebrated on their special day. These boxes may include party supplies, decorations, gifts, activities, and other fun surprises, all thoughtfully selected to make each child feel seen, valued, and remembered.
As part of our Summer Firmwide community project, ML&R team members came together to decorate birthday boxes and fill birthday goody bags for children who may not otherwise have a birthday celebration. Through donated items, teamwork, and a shared commitment to giving back, our team helped bring a little extra birthday magic to kids in our community.
“Our Summer Firmwide is always a special time for our team to reconnect, but this year’s community project made it even more meaningful. Pop-Up Birthday’s mission is such a beautiful reminder that small acts of kindness can make a child feel celebrated, loved, and seen. We were grateful for the opportunity to come together as a firm and help bring joy to children in our community.” Shannon Peterson, Tax Partner.
We are grateful for the opportunity to support Pop-Up Birthday and their meaningful mission. Thank you to our ML&R team members for helping make this project possible and for continuing to show care for the Central Texas community in such a thoughtful and joyful way.
