Our children have evolved. Now even more than ever our children are little conscious beings and understand that they can make a BIG difference in their world.

Pay it Forward Parties gives your child the opportunity to have so much fun AND learn one of life’s greatest lessons…….TO GIVE TO OTHERS

I started Pay it Forward Parties in honor of a lady who made a great impression on my life years ago.

I didn’t always have a comfy, warm roof over my head. In fact I was always less than a paycheque away from homeless for many years as a single mom.

I was working two jobs and I was volunteering for two hours a week at Ste. Louise Outreach Centre. The policy was to volunteer at the centre for two hours and that entitled you to a week’s worth of groceries for your family.

I had given birth to a twin boy and girl December 5th, 1991. My life had gotten pretty rough as I was unable to work with newborn twins as well as a four year old girl.

My rent, gas and hydro was behind. One of the ladies who was a volunteer at the centre would eat lunch with me and we would talk. She helped with an open ear and a BIG HEART.

We were 3 days away from Christmas and I was on a wing and a prayer. A knock came on my door and I opened it up to find my friends from the centre. They walked in with two HUGE boxes filled with all the trimmings for a turkey dinner, diapers, baby formula and a few treats for my oldest.

Irene Harvey (Founder of St. Louise Outreach Centre) had sent the girls over with the boxes to wish my family a Merry Christmas. I told those ladies on that day that I would NEVER forget that gesture and I haven’t.

Pay it Forward Parties is dedicated to my “Pay it Forward” teacher Irene Harvey

We can all benefit in our lives by giving to others. What you could consider the most insignificant, tiny gesture could mean the world to someone else and children are the BEST conduit to teach others compassion.  We need to become a stronger village for our children today.  We can all make a difference!

This campaign was started to expand on my product, hire a part time employee to assist at parties and most importantly find a small local venue to create decor and store all of my theme props AS I HAVE CANDY FALLING OUT MY FRONT DOOR! (SERIOUSLY)

Here’s how we work:

Pick from one of our 6 themes and book your party. Invite your guests, buy your child’s gift then put your feet up. That’s it!

We come to your home (or the location of your choice) and we deal with everything. Decorating, setting up, hosting interactive games and our over the top amazing “Fantasy Table” with our CANDY BUFFET!  Of course each event includes complete set up/tear down and cleanup service.

Think of us as a “Birthday party in a box” delivered directly to your door!

HERE'S THE SPECIAL PART:

1. Upon booking your party your child automatically Pays it forward. We take $10 from every party fee and we donate that money to the local food bank in his /her name

2. When you invite your guests we ask that each child bring a non- perishable item to donate to the same charity-Paying it forward AGAIN

3. Each child will go home with a “Pay it Forward” loot bag with some very cool loot as well as their own individual “Secret Mission Scroll"  written inside that gives them ideas on how to Pay it Forward in their local community.

4. But wait that’s not all! (Sorry had to say it!) We want to keep the momentum going so every year each birthday child is invited back before Christmas at a “Secret Mission” location to help build Pay it” for kids who normally wouldn’t have a gift to open Christmas morning.

   This will give everyone the opportunity to talk about what they did over the year and how to continue to Pay it Forward!

   See how a little idea can make a big difference in our lives
