CCU Update Corner
Happy New Year and Thank you Angels! 2022 was such a memorable year for so many reasons. We celebrated our 40th Year in style by providing $1,138,000 for two incredible charities Youth on Their Own and NAMI and another $288,000 for seven small grants.
We have continued to stay true to our mission:
The mission of Angel Charity is to improve the quality of life for the children in our community.
This is accomplished through an established program of fundraising for beneficiaries selected annually by the general membership.
It is our hope that the community supports the mission of Angel Charity until all the needs of Pima County's children have been met.
Congratulations on making 2022 our largest fundraising year ever!!!!
You all are remarkable, hard working, fun loving and you sure do "Know your WHY"!
Here's to a new year filled with so much possibility!
Time to tilt those Halos forward Angels!!
😇💖
Laura Feemster and Harriet Parish
