I recommend it to my friends every year (on the obvious day to do so)

Just out of curiosity, what day is that? Both Christmas and April 15th came to mind.

My birthday. It is both when one is supposed to be celebrating aging / one's continued survival, and when one receives extra attention from others.

Oh that's a great idea. I'm going to start suggesting people who ask to donate to one of my favorite charities on my birthday. It beats saying I don't need anything which is what I currently do.

Consider also doing an explicit birthday fundraiser. I did one on my most recent birthday and raised $500 for charitable causes.
