Pittsburgh Moe's Southwest Grill Partners with Beverly's Birthdays to Support Homeless Children

Over 2,000 disadvantaged children will celebrate their birthdays through Moe's Buy One, Give One program

There are 3,000 homeless children in Southwestern Pennsylvania who are consistently deprived of everyday necessities. Due to their family’s personal and financial instabilities, homeless children don’t get to celebrate milestones in their lives such as birthdays. To guarantee every child receives a birthday celebration, Beverly’s Birthdays, a North Huntingdon based nonprofit, creates birthday party cheer for homeless children in the Pittsburgh region. Moe’s Southwest Grill Pittsburgh learned of Beverly’s Birthdays and quickly jumped onboard to help support the nonprofit for parties in 2016.

With seven locations in the Pittsburgh region and growing into one of the area’s largest caterers, local Moe’s franchisees Mike Geiger and John Iaquinta realized they were in a unique position to join the Beverly’s Birthdays’ mission. The partnership will feature a “Buy One, Give One” birthday party catering program. Every time a Pittsburgh-area family uses Moe’s to cater their own child’s birthday party, their purchase will directly contribute to catering a Beverly’s Birthdays party at no cost.

“We have always believed that it is our responsibility as a brand to give back to the communities we serve,” said Geiger. “We couldn’t be happier to establish this relationship with an organization that has such a joyful mission that resonates so well with our core audience of Pittsburgh families.”

Beverly’s Birthdays formed with the mission of ensuring that every child feels the joy and recognition of celebrating their one special day each year. Now in their fourth year, Beverly’s Birthdays expects to hold enough parties in 2016 that they will serve more than 2,000 birthday boys and girls along with their guests.

“Our organization is thrilled to partner with our local Moe’s locations to create special birthday memories for the children we serve,” said Megs Yunn, founder of Beverly’s Birthdays. “The generosity the Moe’s team exudes makes them true ‘Champions of Cheer’ and we are so excited to work with them in 2016…one burrito at a time!”
