Kids get to use their Visa gift card to pick out exactly what they want for their birthday. And since the average party collects about 300 bucks, that's a lot of dough for a kid. Plus, kids get that unique feeling of pride and joy that you can only experience as a result of helping animals in need.
Parents of the birthday kid love to be able to provide a real-life lesson in giving and the importance of being charitable. Parents love that their kids get to experience the fun and fellowship of a birthday party without having to deal with the massive amount of unwanted, unneeded and often duplicated presents (NO MORE STUFF).
Parents of the party guests can quickly and easily RSVP and give a gift. They love avoiding the trip to the store, the guessing game of what to buy and the gift wrap ordeal. Plus, they know their money isn't being wasted and it's going to a good cause.
