Picture the impact one person can make when they combine the celebration of life's milestones with a heart for giving back. That's the story of Nikki McFarling, whose personal journey and the birth of her daughter inspired the transformation of Birthday Fundraiser Inc. into the thriving Positive Difference Organization. In our latest episode, we sit down with Nikki to explore the seeds of her nonprofit's origin story and its blossoming into a force for good, orchestrating events that weave together community, celebration, and charity.
Raised by military parents, Nikki's upbringing was steeped in the values of kindness and respect, which echo through her work today. Balancing life as a federal employee, mother, and author, she is living proof that one can harness their creative talents to foster a culture of philanthropy. We venture into her world to understand how her unique approach to fundraising not only supports her organization's administrative needs but also keeps the spirit of community involvement alive and thriving, without the luxury of a marketing budget.
As we pivot to the behind-the-scenes strategies that make these gatherings a success, we shed light on the monthly events at the Cultural Center Library that ignite joy and a desire to serve in young hearts. Hear about the collaborations and support from local businesses and publications that amplify the organization's reach and impact. Nikki's narrative is a beacon for anyone looking to combine their passions with purpose, and in this candid conversation, we discover just how much good exists in our world, thanks to neighbors like her.
Our mission is to inspire today’s youth to make a positive difference in the world around them by using their skills, talents & abilities to help others. We currently produce two free all ages community events every year and just launched a free monthly event for kids 3-6 years old and their siblings. Our motto is “Who you are matters and What you do matters.”
