Letter to Donors

Dear Friends of Angel Charity for Children, Inc.,

For 36 years, Angel Charity has been Tucson’s ‘Halo for Hire’. Thanks to the partnership with our committed donors, we have funded nearly $27 million to improve the lives of more than one million children in our community.

In this, our 37th year of making miracles, we received an overwhelming number of requests for assistance from organizations that provide services to children. The need is great.

We responded by committing nearly $1 million in funding for 10 local agencies serving the needs of children in Pima County. We need your help to fund our two biggest projects, Children’s Clinics and TRAK.

We hope when you read about the projects we are presenting for your consideration, you will join us on our continuing journey to change the lives of children in our community.

With much respect and admiration,

Paige Cogdall Shawndee Gibbons Cathie Batbie Loucks General Chairman Vice Chairman Kellie Terhune Neely Capital Campaign and Underwriting Chairs

Who we are

Angel Charity for Children, Inc. is a non-profit organization comprised of 150 devoted

members representing a cross-section of the Tucson community. Through innovative

fundraising, these dedicated and effective Angels are committed to providing Pima

County’s children with the vibrant future they so richly deserve.

Founded in 1983 by Tucsonans Louise Thomas and Jane Loews Sharples, Angel

Charity for Children, Inc. retired the mortgage and expanded and remodeled the

Ronald McDonald House in its first year of working miracles. Each year since then, a

thoroughly researched, tax-exempt children’s agency (or multiple agencies)

benefits from the year-round fundraising program.

Why donate?

• As a donor you can add to the nearly $27 million already raised as we begin our

37th year of raising funds on behalf of the children in our community.

• Our core funding has been for capital expenditures to retire a mortgage, remodels or renovations on existing structures or construction of new facilities. We also fund medical research and care, arts, education, social services.

• We fund only agencies holding 501(c)3 nonprofit status which meet the needs of

children in Pima County.

• With only one part-time staff member, we maximize the value of your donation.

Your gift directly benefits the children of Pima County.

• Our beneficiary selection process includes a detailed application, multiple

presentations, a thorough and professional analysis of financial statements, and a

site visit to help ensure each beneficiary is a viable, sustainable entity.

• A variety of children’s needs are considered for funding regardless of race, gender,

religion, sexual preference or national origin.

• Arizona ranks among the lowest in the country for funding human services. Your

contribution will help us move up in the ranks by ensuring the longevity of local

agencies that provide much needed services for our most vulnerable population.
