Initially created to be summer program during the shelter-in-place order, Ben Boccabella, with the support of his Boy Scout Troop 237 in Orinda, organized Birthday Buddies for Aegis in Moraga. Having so much fun, however, the troop may extend the program throughout the year. The troop wanted to lift spirits of the residents of this assisted living center in Moraga during this challenging time. Scouts have been adopting a resident on their special day and dropping off birthday bags filled with decorations or flowers to make SIP a little brighter. Troop 237 has a long history of volunteering within the community.
