Renton non-profit Birthday Dreams will hold its second annual fundraising dinner and auction on Sept. 28.

The local grass-roots organization was formed three years ago to provide birthday celebrations for children living in homeless shelters, foster homes, transitional housing and even cars.

The group will hold its event called “Unmask the Dreams” with doors open at 6:30 p.m. at Maggiano’s Little Italy, 10455 N.E. Eighth St., Bellevue.

The Renton-based charity has provided more than 925 birthdays to children living in challenging situations.

The gala will feature a masquerade theme and mask contest and silent auction from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Last year Birthday Dreams raised more than $17,000 and this year its goal is $45,000.

Following the three-course dinner, there will be a live auction with 125 items including “Date Night for a Year” and a trip to Mexico.
