Message from our

Chair and Vice Chair

We hope everyone is having an amazing summer!

We look forward to seeing you at the General Meeting on August 9th as we work to finish our year. While enjoying the last days of summer, don’t forget to sell your Chance tickets and finalize your Casino Gifts.

CCU remains very busy and looks forward to completing our goal, but still has lots to do! As always, if you have information about grants, foundations, and/or individuals you would like to share with CCU, please reach out to us or Laura Buckelew.

Relax and enjoy your summer, and we will see you all soon!

With gratitude,

Jeannie & Carrie

From the CCU Committee

CCU went on a summer field trip!

The committee visited the Steele Children's Research Center project site, toured the labs and asked Dr. Ghishan lots of questions. Big thank you to Steele for hosting and inspiring us! Thank you to all CCU members that were able to attend our monthly meeting at Steele. Judy Berman even changed her flight to be able to attend! We're grateful for all our amazing Angels!

We know that everyone is traveling and enjoying their summer however we still have a big goal to meet very soon! Thank you to those who have solicited new and returning donors. If you have any questions or potential donors, please reach out to the CCU team.

From Your Member Liaison

From the DEI Committee

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is off to a great start. Our first meeting focused on how the DEI Committee can best support Angel Charity in effectively applying for grants and supporting our beneficiaries in the application process.

We now look to how Angel Charity can best embrace and honor all members. We invite all members to attend our meetings. Our next meeting will be held in August. An official meeting date will be announced soon.

From The Solicitations Committee

It’s Time to Sell Those Chance Tickets!

We have a $50 Gift Card drawing coming up at the August and September General Meeting! Selling all your Chance Tickets before the start of the meeting qualifies you for the drawing. The earlier you sell your Chance Tickets, the more opportunities you have to win! For example, if you sell your Chance Tickets before the August meeting you will be eligible for the drawings in August and September!

And … at the October General Meeting, the ten (10) Angels who have sold the most Chance Tickets will have their names entered into an extra special drawing! You don’t want to miss this opportunity!

Text or email your donors today! Helpful solicitation resources are available in the member area of the website. Reach out to Melissa Gibbons with any questions.

Chance ticket requirements:

4 for Cherubs, Actives, Ten Plus, Special Status, & Sabbatical Angels
20 for Chance Ticket Committee members
Sustaining Angels? Eligible with 2 Chance Tickets sold!

#IGotAChanceFor10K!

Have you purchased a Chance ticket, or do you have a friend or client who has purchased a ticket and would like to be featured?

Please send Melissa Gibbons photos so we can share the news on social media just like Karen Farrell did!

Our #IGotAChanceFor10K campaign is a great way to promote ticket sales!

Don't forget to send your family, friends, coworkers, etc the link and ask them to include you member as the solicitor. Visit AngelChanceTix.org.

Bring in Your Casino Gifts!

The Casino Gifts committee has been working all summer to process, tag, and pack up your donations! If you have already dropped off Casino Gifts or Silent Auction items at the Angel office, THANK YOU! Please leave merchandise donations on the designated tables. Certificates go into the Casino Gifts box on the wall.

Casino Gift Requirements:

15 gifts for Cherubs & Committee Members
3 gifts for Actives
1 gift for Ten Plus

Members not on the committee have the option to buy out their commitment. Please kindly do so before the end of the summer break so Karen Osborne, Purchasing Chair, has time to select amazing items with your donation! The link for payment is in the Member area of the website.

Our goal is to have all gifts received by October 1st. To help meet this goal, we will have boxes by the check-in area at the August and September General Meetings for you to drop off your gifts – with the contract attached - if you just haven’t been able to get to the Angel office.

If would like to solicit a person or business that isn’t currently assigned to you on the Approved & Proposed Solicitation List, make a request on the spreadsheet for approval.

Please reach out to Elisa Ross, Misty Arnold, or Sharon Norman if you have questions, need assistance with soliciting, or would like the giving history of your assigned donors.

The Not-So-Silent Silent Auction is Coming Up!

Are you curious about what we will be auctioning off this year? Does a hunting trip to Australia interest you? How about a VIP wine tasting in Napa? These are just a few of the amazing experiences we have in store for you this year!

If there is something you know a donor would like to see in our Silent Auction, please contact Tana Lopez or Tracy Gaspari to share more about it and how we can secure it for the auction. Thank you!
