Message from our Chair and Vice Chair | |
|
Dear Angels,
Happy New Year! We hope you had an enjoyable and restful holiday season after a busy and successful Angel year. We met our goals to support the Children's Museum Tucson and six opportunity grant beneficiaries through our well-attended and successful events and an incredible CCU campaign. We are grateful to Kellie and Dawn for their leadership in 2024 and know we have big shoes to fill.
Angel Charity's 43rd year is off and running! Charity Selection and leadership transition meetings are underway, and new Cherubs will be joining us within the next month. We look forward to sharing with you very soon a reimagined Spring Event and an exciting new twist on our longtime Chance Ticket Raffle.
Angel Charity will participate in the upcoming 100th Rodeo Parade in 2025. You'll find more information on how to participate below.
At our January meeting, our 2026 leadership was announced. Congratulations to Karla Looby, our 2026 General Chair Elect, and Marci Saffer, our Vice Chair Elect. Their future leadership supports our ongoing mission to improve the lives of children in Pima County.
We are honored to serve as your General Chair and Vice Chair for 2025 and excited to embark on this journey together with you all!
Much Gratitude,
Vicky & Betty Jo
