Care Bears Celebrate Share Your Care Day with The Birthday Party Project

In celebration of Share Your Care Day on September 9, Care Bears™, in partnership with The Birthday Party Project, announce a special initiative to bring smiles and joy to children experiencing homelessness. This year, we are kicking off a year-long initiative with Care Bears-themed birthday parties starting in September and continuing with monthly Care Bears plush donations throughout the entire year until September 2025. This partnership underscores the Care Bears’ enduring commitment to sharing care and making a positive impact in communities across the nation.

Share Your Care Day, observed annually on September 9, is a day dedicated to acts of kindness and goodwill. On this day, Care Bears fans around the world are encouraged to spread sharing, caring, love, and happiness through small acts of kindness. Whether it’s volunteering, reaching out to someone in need, or simply sharing a smile, Share Your Care Day is about making the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time.

“We are so grateful to the Care Bears for choosing to Share Their Care and spread JOY to children experiencing homelessness this month and throughout the year” said Wade Lairsen, CEO of The Birthday Party Project. “Ever since 1982, when they burst onto the scene with their heart-forward message of encouragement and emotional support, children of all ages have shared in the JOY the Care Bears bring.”

This year’s Share Your Care Day focuses on hosting birthday celebrations for children who often miss out on this joyful milestone. Through the magic of these parties, children are reminded they are valued and loved.

The partnership extends beyond a single day of celebration, unfolding throughout the year to continually support and uplift children facing homelessness. This sustained effort not only highlights the commitment of Care Bears to social responsibility, but also ensures ongoing support and joy are brought to these children regularly.

Kristeen Tibbits, Head of Marketing at Cloudco Entertainment, expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership: “Share Your Care Day is a perfect reflection of what Care Bears stand for. Launching this year-long partnership with The Birthday Party Project allows us to bring a little extra happiness to children who deserve it most. It’s a privilege to see the positive impact of these celebrations and the smiles they bring.”

In addition to the activities in the United States, Care Bears are also extending their caring mission globally. In countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, the Care Bears have launched similar initiatives to celebrate Share Your Care Day, including partnerships with local charities and community groups to maximize their reach and impact in spreading sharing and caring around the world.
