WHO ARE WE?Simon Says Give is a nonprofit founded by Mandi Simon when she was 8-years old. We support Kids Celebrating Kids in four ways: Birthday Celebrations for kids in need, Youth Leadership opportunities, Chapter Passion Projects and our annual High Five for Supplies drive.

On April 13, 2017 Simon Says Give Turns 5! We chose this date in honor of the first birthday party we hosted on April 13, 2012, for our friend Ben. Since then, we have celebrated close to 1,500 birthday parties with 10 friends. To put it another way, over 15,000 children have been impacted by Kids Celebrating Kids.

Our High Five for Supplies drive has supported over 25,000 children with backpacks and supplies over the past five years. At the same time, we have grown in our Youth Leadership with a Kid Advisory Board for our Minnesota Chapter and we started new chapters in South Dakota and Massachusetts. Our Chapter Presidents and their teams have impacted over 1,000 children with their hunger passion projects.

Simon Says Give has had a direct impact on over 64,000 kids, and our goal is to impact 2 million by 2022. We could not make this happen if it wasn’t for our donors and strategic partners.

WHY SPONSOR?This sponsorship package helps our current and potential strategic partners to determine how they would like to celebrate with us during our Simon Says Give Turns 5 Year of Celebration. As you read through the packet, you will see we have quite the year of celebration planned.

Your partnership with us will provide kids leadership opportunities, birthday celebrations, backpacks and supplies necessary for going back to school in the fall, and support to our chapter passion projects focused on hunger.

High Five for Supplies is our largest impact project to-date. Each summer we work with hundreds of businesses that conduct supply drives in their offices and/or donate cash to put towards our purchase power. Our goal is 10,000 backpacks fully loaded with the supplies kids Kindergarten to 12th grade need to go back to school ready to learn and succeed. In the past five years, over 25,000 kids have received backpacks and school supplies, and we are setting our sights higher in the future.
