Bags will be filled with cake mix\, frosting\, candles\, and other donated items\, and then given to the Marquette County Salvation Army food bank to distribute. Help make a child’s birthday special\, because truly\, every child deserves a birthday!\n\nHow can you help? Two ways!\n\nOption 1:\nHelp us fill the birthday bags by visiting our Amazon Wish List or if you or your business would like to donate separately\, email cmqtevents@gmail.com. Please order by 4/20/24 to ensure items arrive in time.\n\nOption 2:\nCome to the UP Children’s Museum on April 27th and help stuff the bags! We’ll be stuffing bags from 5:30-7:30 on the 2nd floor of the Children’s Museum. We only ask that you RSVP so we know how much pizza and pop to reward you with. Feel free to bring your own kids as well!\n\n\nThanks to our generous members and community for helping us to make this a success every year for our local kiddos!
