Support organization
The Confetti Foundation
The Confetti Foundation ships a free themed Birthday in a Box to a child turning 1 through 18 who will spend the birthday admitted to a U.S. hospital, receiving services at a pediatric oncology clinic, or at a hospice under Child Life care. A family member or friend submits the live request 10–30 days before the birthday, and the kit ships only to the facility. The form collects sensitive minor and hospital information and includes unclear photo/video consent language, so privacy and ability to decline publicity must be confirmed.
