In 2003, when she was just 11 years old, Maia Gradante decided to "upgrade" the traditional birthday party by using the occasion to help her favorite
cause. Maia asked her friends to donate the money they would have spent on her gifts to a wildlife conservation organization.
What better creature to dedicate your birthday to than the snow leopard?
Just like Allison and Maia, you can be an ALLSTAR too! You can throw a birthday party dedicated to saving the endangered snow leopard and you will get a special ALLSTAR Certificate from SLC for outstanding efforts to help save snow leopards!!!
