AIG’s 20th Event with Foster Love Brings Birthdays to Foster Youth in Boston

AIG (American International Group) and Foster Love have once again teamed up for an inspiring collaboration that brings vital resources to foster children. This time, over 30 AIG employees came together for an in-person team building in Boston to assemble Birthday Boxes—carefully packed with decorations, gifts, a personalized birthday card, candles, and party supplies—to give children in foster care the opportunity to celebrate their special day. AIG team building events like this show the company’s continuing efforts to create meaningful experiences for their employees while also making a huge impact on the lives of children in need.

Making Birthdays Special for Foster Children

The Birthday Boxes created during this event will be distributed to local foster care agencies around Boston, ensuring that children who often face uncertainty in their lives can still experience the joy and excitement of a birthday celebration. For many children in foster care, their special day can go unnoticed, making these celebrations all the more important. By assembling these boxes, AIG employees directly contribute to uplifting the spirits of these children, reminding them that they are valued and remembered, encouraging them to dream big and celebrate life.

The Importance of Birthdays

Birthdays hold significant emotional value, serving as a milestone that celebrates a child’s life and individuality. For children in foster care, these special days can often be overlooked, leaving them feeling neglected or forgotten. Celebrating birthdays helps to foster a sense of belonging and normalcy, allowing these children to experience joy and excitement during a time that should be dedicated to them. By providing Birthday Boxes, AIG ensures that these moments are cherished, reminding foster youth that they are valued and worthy of celebration.

Strengthening Connections Through Service

This collaboration marks another chapter in AIG’s long-standing Superhero partnership with Foster Love. This reflects AIG’s significant commitment to supporting our initiatives and positively impacting the lives of foster youth. Over the years, AIG has actively participated in various service projects, including back-to-school fundraising that supplied essential school supplies for students, demonstrating their commitment to improving the lives of foster children. 

Each project reflects the company’s dedication to making a difference in the community while fostering teamwork and collaboration among employees.

A Commitment to Community Impact

Through AIG team building events, employees not only develop their teamwork skills but also gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by children in foster care. These hands-on experiences cultivate empathy and awareness, encouraging employees to continue supporting these vital causes while fostering a strong sense of community within the workplace. 

A Grateful Partnership

We at Foster Love are immensely grateful for AIG’s unwavering support and dedication to making a difference in the lives of foster children. AIG’s involvement demonstrates a true commitment to advocacy and support for those in need. With each Birthday Box assembled, AIG employees brought hope and joy to children, reinforcing the message that they are not alone and that their birthdays deserve to be celebrated.

By coming together to support foster youth, AIG employees not only enhance their teamwork skills but also contribute to a brighter future for children in need. We look forward to continuing this impactful journey with AIG, creating more opportunities for joy and celebration for foster children across the nation.
