Make a birthday card for a homeless youth and you could win $10,000!

More than a million children experience homelessness every year. Many kids’ birthdays fall while they are in a shelter, making it hard to celebrate.

Do Something is asking youth to get crafty and make blank birthday cards so homeless children can have something to celebrate on their special day.

One lucky participant will win a $10,000 scholarship.
