Pop-Up Birthday

You Were Seen — And You Showed Up Big!

This year's gala was our most successful ever, raising over $240,000 to celebrate kids in foster care! 💜

From mirrored cactuses to bubble house moments, the night sparkled—and so did YOU.

Huge thanks to our amazing vendors:


Such gratitude to our sponsors: Andresen Foundation, Bucher Collins Real Estate Group, Treetops Foundation, American Bank, Benchmark Bank, and HEB.

Thanks too to our staff, board, and stellar gala chairs Courtney & Sharon 💫

Our beloved mascot was looking a little... worn out from the party life — but thanks to our incredibly talented friend Alex, Poppy the piñata has gotten a full-on glow up!

He’s brighter, bolder, and ready to celebrate Pop-Up Birthday’s 10th anniversary in style. You’ll meet the “new” Poppy this Friday at our sold-out gala at Assembly Hall!

While you can’t swing a stick at a ticket anymore (piñata pun intended), you can still support our mission and donate by visiting the link in our bio.

We’re so excited to party with purpose —
