What an incredible outpouring of love and support. So many people helped celebrate my birthday and our shared work to inspire, empower, and connect the next generation to change their world.
I am so inspired by this community, and I am deeply touched by the way you all stepped up.
When my team shared the birthday card with me, each name was a reminder of how large, diverse, and dedicated this community is. I was especially moved by the messages of hope, love, and support that so many of you shared.
I want to thank you for being a part of this birthday celebration, and to share with you a few of the birthday notes that helped make it a special day. |

I may be 63 years old now, but I am just as hopeful for the future of this country, just as grateful for the community that surrounds me, as I always have been. It’s stories like the ones above, and people like you, who help keep me that way.
Thank you again for celebrating my birthday with me, and for everything you do to support the Obama Foundation.
