Paige Chenault has been an entrepreneur in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors. In 2005, Paige started an event planning company, Paige Chenault Events. Over the years, Paige created a strong brand while sticking to her core values and giving her clients her best-always advocating on their behalf, being a good steward of their resources, and having fun along the way. After the birth of their daughter, Lizzie, Paige was inspired to give back. Taking her passion for helping others and her ability to plan spectacular and meaningful events, she decided that celebrating others was her purpose in life. After years of research and consideration, in 2012, Paige embarked on a new journey and The Birthday Party Project was born. The mission of The Birthday Party Project is to bring JOY to homeless children through the Magic of Birthdays. With the amazing support of its birthday enthusiasts (volunteers), The Birthday Party Project hosts monthly birthday parties at homeless and transitional living facilities. After starting with one party a month at one shelter with 60 kids, The Birthday Party Project now celebrates with 15 agencies a month in 4 cities across the country with over 750 kids in attendance. Expansion to additional national markets is planned for 2015. To date, The Birthday Party Project has celebrated over 1,100 birthdays with over 10,000 children. Paige hopes her dedication to generosity will inspire others to spread JOY in their communities. After all, she believes that Joy Changes Lives. Paige is passionate about all things Giving. She and her husband, Colin, live in Dallas with their almost seven year old daughter, Lizzie, who remains the inspiration behind all their efforts.
