Kindergartner Parties Alone Because No One Showed Up To His Birthday Party
By Michele
An Arizona mom says none of her son’s kindergarten friends showed up to his birthday party — after she sent 32 invitations to his classmates.
Teddy's party was held at a Peter Piper Pizza restaurant in Tucson on Sunday afternoon.
Sil Mazzini, Teddy's mom, said that 32 invitations were sent out, inviting the kindergartner's classmates and their parents to join him for celebrations at the restaurant. She said a few people did respond that they were unable to make it, but out of everyone else -- no one came.
"I'm done with parties for a while," Mazzini joked to ABC15 following the sad weekend showing.
Mazzini shared a photo of her son sitting alone in front of several pizzas with a reporter at KVOA who then shared the image on his Facebook page. That prompted dozens and dozens of birthday wishes from around the country, as well as other gifts and offers — including a free ride in a “mouse limo” owned by a local exterminator.
But the biggest unexpected birthday present for Teddy came from the Phoenix Suns, who invited him to watch Wednesday night’s game at the Talking Stick Resort Arena against the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James.
“How about we celebrate with thousands at our place!” the team tweeted. “Tickets to Wednesday’s #SunsVSLakers game are all yours Teddy! Talk soon!”
The city’s professional soccer club, the Phoenix Rising, also invited Teddy to “join 7,000 of his closest friends” at a playoff game on Friday. A team spokesman told KNXV that some fans reached out with ideas on how to help the boy, including some who suggested buying a customized jersey for him.
The Arizona Coyotes are getting in on the birthday fun as well, throwing a pizza party for Teddy during Saturday's game. Anyone who wants to give him a gift is encouraged to drop off an unwrapped present outside Gate 3 at Gila River Arena during business hours, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
