Charlie's Angels 2023
Donation protected
Charlie’s Angels is a charity I founded when I was 6 years old. I watched my parents adopt an angel off of the Salvation Army Angel Tree and wanted to adopt one of my own. I earned $100 and adopted 1 angel. A tradition was born. The next year I set a goal to raise $300 for 3 angels and ended up raising $700 to adopt 7 angels. As I have grown, so has Charlie's Angels, bringing in more people and raising more money with each passing year. In the 12 years I did this project, Charlie's Angels grew from raising $100 to adopt 1 angel when I was 6, to raising $70,000 to adopt 700 angels when I was 17. Though our goal is $6000 this year, more angels will be adopted accordingly as we surpass our goal. Our fundraising deadline is Sunday, November 19th, 2023.
I spend the whole year doing odd jobs and collecting donations. Then, in mid-November, when the Salvation Army rolls out their annual Angel Tree, I take all the money I have earned and use it to adopt angels off of the tree, allocating $100 to each angel. After that, I shop for all of the angels I adopted and then return them to the Salvation Army warehouse to be distributed at Christmas. What makes this project so unique is where we are versus where we started. Never would I have dreamed that it would grow to be as big as it has become. Please take a look at a couple of our media links as well, which help capture the full picture and magic of Charlie’s Angels.
Coming into Texas A&M as a freshman in the Corps of Cadets, I wasn't sure what my first semester would look like so I put Charlie's Angels on hold in 2022. But Christmas without doing Charlie's Angels just didn't feel right and now that I have my feet under me as a college student, it's time to bring it back. It's time to bring the magic of Christmas to families in need. It's time to add to the list of 1,130 children that Charlie's Angels has already helped over the past 12 years. Will you help us reach our goal? Just think… YOU could be the reason a child gets a Christmas, and every child deserves a Christmas.
Thank you for anything you can do to support such a great cause. There is no such thing as a small contribution. For any questions or donation inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact me!
Merry Christmas,
