Phil Michaels Birthday

MY BIRTHDAY IS ABOUT YOU:
In 2014, I was inspired to provide two family mentors, my Aunt Lorrie and Uncle Joe, with the gift of giving. For their christmas present, I donated six soccer balls, in their name, to individual children in various developing nations through UNICEF.

My aunt, uncle, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity and here's how YOU will now benefit from this.

The fulfillment I experienced developed an urge for me to share these easy-to-find resources with children around the world. As time passed, I was provoked by a particular thought from my journeys in Haiti, Nigeria, Chile, and Hong Kong. While traveling, I was fortunate enough to witness children whose needs and wishes are much greater than my own.

In addition to my time traveling, I was lucky enough to take part in the opportunity to help educate individual children about the world of business, finance, entrepreneurship, and more.  With this humbling experience, came also the harsh realization of all the simple gifts we may take for granted on a daily basis.  Gifts such as the soccer balls we provided to the individual children mentioned above.  Here began the inspirational fire I have used to create an insurmountable experience for YOU on my birthday this year; and for all of my birthdays to come.

On March 19th, I no longer want my birthday to be about me anymore. Instead, I would like to make it about you by providing children-in-need with gifts and magic moments that will change their lives on your behalf.

What do you say?  What are the chances of you joining along in celebrating my birthday this year by giving small gifts to children all around the world.  These are the ones who may need gifts more than you or me.  Donate by selecting one of the reward level gifts listed.
