Message from our
Chair and Vice Chair
Hello Angels! Hello Summer! Whether summer has you out adventuring, or enjoying local activities, we hope you have a great summer break. Many of you will continue to remain hard at work on your committees over the break – thank you!
Thank you to each of you for your commitment and passion to raise funds as a member of Angel Charity. Carrie and I are so appreciative of all your efforts!
A huge thank you to Jeanne Silverberg for an incredible Halos & Highballs event at El Charro Café Ventana on May 31. We had an excellent turnout! We hope you can join us for the next Halos & Highballs Wednesday, August 30 at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill.
A quick reminder that our Chance ticket sales are all online. Please refer to the Chance Ticket flyer and QR code to share with your friends, clients, etc. It is so important to get the word out via social media and email. We're looking forward to making Chance tickets a huge success once again!
Before we know it, summer will be over. Please keep our beneficiaries in mind this summer and let Laura Buckelew or me know about any potential donors we should reach out to.
Hoping you each have a safe and memorable summer – thank you for all you do!
With gratitude,
Jeannie & Carrie

It is my pleasure and honor to work with the Angel membership. Your enthusiasm and dedication is an inspiration to all. As your Member Liaison, consider me your personal concierge, ready to assist with any questions or concerns you may have. Every Angel member is valued and highly regarded. We want to make sure you have a positive and successful experience this year!
Success is Best When it is Shared!
We want to be aware of Angel successes and applaud your efforts and acknowledge your successes. If you have any news (good or sad) you would like to share, or if you would like Angel to recognize another Active, Cherub, 10+, sustaining or Advisory Board Angel for an achievement of any type, please let me know!
The strength of Angel is each individual member. The strength of each member is the Angel team!

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is off to a great start. Our first meetings have 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. Watch this space for an official meeting date to be announced soon. |

Big thank you to the more than 30 fun people that joined us at El Charro's Sunrise location on May 31.
It was nice to see so many friendly faces and share stories about life. Included in this spirited group were four very supportive men and Angel Charity's 1997 Vice Chair, Jacqueline Agers. It was wonderful to see everyone!
Carlotta Flores (owner of all of the "El Charro's in Tucson and former member") and her attentive staff made sure we had a great place to share our time together and the food and drinks were fabulous too.
Thank you Carlotta!
Save the date for our next Halos and Highballs event!
