Coast Guard Holiday Stockings for Homeless Children

03/17/2026

An amazing cause. Please support them if you can. They have a Golf event coming up soon.
Follow Birthday Dreams for more information.

In 2008, Birthday Dreams co-founder Chris Spahn volunteered at the Coast Guard Holiday Stockings for Homeless Children event in Seattle.

Watching more than 3,000 stockings filled for children experiencing homelessness was eye-opening.

It sparked a simple but powerful question: If we support children during the holidays… what about the rest of the year?

Soon after, while planning her own daughter’s birthday party, another idea emerged.

What about birthdays?

And the idea for Birthday Dreams was born.
