ECHOage Eco-Friendly Parties

Posted by julie | Filed under baby, for dad, for mom, kids, life

Here’s a great birthday party concept that gives back, teaches children giving, helps the environment AND makes party planning EASY for busy parents! Would love to coordinate a story with the founders, a benefitting charity or a past/future participant! Introducing ECHOage, the innovative website easily helps parents turn their child’s birthday party into a time for giving and receiving — by inviting party guests to contribute money online.

ECHOage then pools and divides the funds, with half going towards the purchase of ONE memorable gift for the birthday child and the other half going to a charity of their choice — hence the company’s mantra of “One Gift, One Cause.” ECHOage‘s online tool simply redirects funds already being spent on birthday gifts for a child’s party. Children still have the party they want because any party can be an ECHOage party. The birthday child chooses one large, memorable present and has the opportunity to contribute to the world, which makes them feel part of something meaningful.
