ECHOage is a unique web-based service that plans eco-friendly, charitable birthday parties for kids. ECHOage was started by two moms who wanted to help create a generation of GIVING kids. Instead of guests bringing wrapped and packaged presents, they are asked to give a secure donation online to the birthday child’s charity of choice. Contributions are pooled with half going to purchase a gift for the child and half being donated to this special charity. ECHOage arranges everything, so no need for guests to drive, shop, wrap or even pick up the phone to make a donation. www.echoage.com
