Chair and Vice Chair

Our first-ever country concert "ROCKED" the Fox on April 26th! What an incredible evening had by all who attended the “Rock the Fox” concert featuring Elle King and Madeline Edwards.

Gillian, Veronica and the entire Spring Event committee hit it out of the park! The event was a success and gave us an opportunity to provide information about Angel Charity to those that were not previously aware of our mission. A BIG thank you to all who supported and attended this event.

As summer nears, and we take a small break, we want you to enjoy your time with family and friends, however, please continue to solicit potential donors for CCU money, casino gifts, chance tickets and silent auction items as we work to raise the amounts promised to our beneficiaries.

Our committees are all hard at work making miracles happen. Carrie and I thank each and every one of you for all of your hard work. Angels do make miracles happen!

With gratitude,

Jeannie & Carrie

Sponsor / Ticket Information

From the CCU Committee

CCU solicitation letters went out last week. Thank you to all involved in this massive project! SPECIAL thanks to Becky Rebensdorf and Carla Keegan; you two are amazing! Thank you!

To our Angel Membership: If you have ideas on businesses or individuals you’d like to ask to support Angel Charity for Children, please reach out to Laura Buckelew or Becky Rebensdorf. First, we’ll need to check our list to make sure another Angel isn’t already soliciting your business or individual. The CCU Committee would be more than happy to assist and guide you on the fundraising ask. We have all the materials you’ll need including our Community Impact Brochure. Hard copies are also available at the office or login to the website for digital versions of our CCU materials (Community Impact Brochure, letter templates and more). As an Angel Member, you too are a donor, so thank you from the CCU Committee! You are truly appreciated!

Together, we can fundraise for our 2023 Beneficiaries!

Sincerely,

Laura Buckelew, Becky Rebensdorf & Carla Keegan

Approved Solicitation List

Did you know that Angel members can only solicit Gifts with businesses for which the Angel has been approved? As an organization, we value our relationships with our donors by soliciting a donor only once.

Please review your approved donors and if needed, submit requests to revise your list on the Approved & Proposed Solicitation List.

Contact Ashley Warren with questions.

WANTED - Casino Gifts!

The Casino Gifts committee will be working through the summer to process, tag, and pack up your donations!

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

Actives and Ten Plus members have the option to buy out their commitment. If you would like to do this, please kindly do so before the summer break. The link for payment is in the Member area of the website.

Our goal is to have all gifts received by October 1st. Thank you in advance for your support.

Please reach out to Elisa Ross, Misty Arnold, or Sharon Norman if you have questions or need assistance with soliciting.

If you have any packaging, bubbly wrap, or big boxes, we'd love to have them donated for wrapping and storage purposes. Drop them off at the Angel office with a note so we know whom to thank!

Rock the Fox!

Thank you to Jeannie and Carrie for supporting a new "spring" event idea! I'm also so appreciative of the entire spring event committee for hitting the ground running! With a little more than 800 in attendance, our first-ever concert was a success!

The committee’s generosity, dedication, and commitment to our cause has been truly inspiring. They helped us create a new event that included new members and partnerships in our community!

I also want to thank the many sponsors who supported this new event! Not only did we have tremendous support from our community but many Angels also sponsored this event. I cannot say THANK YOU enough!

And finally, I am grateful for the time, effort, and expertise everyone involved contributed. Without their contributions, this event would not have been possible. There are so many people that gave generously by sharing knowledge, experience, and resources. This made a profound impact on our first concert, and for that, I am truly grateful!❤️

I look forward to next year and working with each of you again!

With lots of gratitude,

Gillian Kazmierczak
