Kidspace and Foster Love Present the 3rd Annual Birthday Palooza: Reuniting Siblings in Foster Care for a Day of Joy and Celebration on Saturday, April 5

LOS ANGELES, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kidspace Children's Museum and Foster Love are thrilled to announce the return of the 3rd Annual Birthday Palooza, a joyous event that reunites siblings in foster care for one unforgettable day.

On April 5, 2025, it's officially everyone's birthday at Birthday Palooza. Approximately 300 brothers and sisters who may be separated in foster care placements will celebrate at a colossal birthday party with games, gifts, cupcakes, singing, and special guests.

"For many children in foster care, birthdays can be just another day, often spent apart from their siblings," said Gianna Mulkay, Executive Director of Foster Love. "Birthday Palooza changes that by creating a space where these children can reunite, have fun, make memories, and celebrate their special day surrounded by love and support."

"Being separated from siblings can be a lonely and upsetting experience for children in the foster system," said Lisa Clements, CEO of Kidspace Children's Museum. "It seems like such a small thing for kids to be able to celebrate milestones like birthdays together, have time to play and be silly, and take pictures with their siblings, but these simple, special moments can help children feel connected, safe, and loved."

This year's party theme is a pirate takeover of the Kidspace campus, where the birthday VIP's will be reunited in hearty crews for a joyous and rowdy celebration. Highlights include:

• Swashbuckling pirate games and treasure hunts
• The Salty Sea Monkey disco, where you can dance 'til you need peg legs
• Piratey photo ops - BYO parrot or use one of ours
• A treasure trove of free grub, so you can save your doubloons
• Personalized birthday booty for each child in attendance
• A bounty of delicious treats and birthday surprises
• Special guest appearances and more!

Kidspace and Foster Love are committed to providing foster youth with experiences that inspire joy, connection, and a sense of belonging. This event is made possible through the generous support of donors, volunteers, and community partners who believe in the power of celebrating childhood.
