Jake’s Birthday Celebration, Sept 25, 2026, Long Beach WA.

🐊🎉 CELEBRATE JAKE & SUPPORT PPR! 🎉🐊

Jake’s Birthday Celebration is coming, and this year the fun has an even bigger purpose! A portion of the proceeds from Jake’s Birthday will benefit Peninsula Poverty Response, helping us continue supporting neighbors throughout the Long Beach Peninsula. 💙

Come celebrate one of our community’s most legendary characters, enjoy a wonderfully weird Long Beach tradition, and know that simply being part of the festivities helps support the work we do.

🎂 Have fun. Celebrate Jake. Support your community.
