Sharing Birthday Cheer One Bag At A Time

Credit Sue Sells
Terri Maucher was inspired to found Birthday Bags, Inc. by her own birthday memories.

Fort Wayne resident, Terri Maucher believes that birthdays are special, and every kid deserves to celebrate their own, with all the trimmings.

For families that might not be able to afford that pleasure, Maucher offers a solution, with a new enterprise, called Birthday Bags, Inc.

WBOI's Julia Meek invited Terri into the studio to discuss the inspiration behind the project, how it works, and what all is included in these special bags of birthday cheer.

Learn more at the Birthday Bags, Inc. Facebook page.

A Fort Wayne native, Julia is a radio host, graphic artist, and community volunteer, who has contributed to NIPR both on- and off-air for forty years. Besides being WBOI's arts & culture reporter, she currently co-produces and hosts Folktales and Meet the Music.
