Howdy, A-Batt Family! As we round off the summer and go into the holiday season, we have begun fundraising for the Charlie’s Angels 2025 Project for this Christmas!
Since he was six years old, Charlie Borowczak '26 has been adopting Salvation Army Angels at Christmas time. Now a senior in Company E-2 in Texas A&M’s Corps of Cadets, he annually continues to work year-round to bring Christmas gifts to the less fortunate. As a six-year-old, he did manual labor to raise $100 and adopt one angel. A tradition was born. In following years he began enlisting family and friends to help him secure more work, more donations, and more manpower as the project grew. About 5 years into the project, his number of angels so outnumbered his manpower capabilities that he created the Charlie’s Angels Shop Squad, a team of volunteers who would help him shop for all the gifts using the money raised. His senior year in high school, he raised $70,000 to adopt 700 angels. He took a year off and then reignited the project in 2023 as a sophomore in the Corps of Cadets, in order to see what potential Charlie’s Angels could have at Texas A&M. 2023 donations almost doubled the projected goal, reaching $10,000 to bring Christmas to 100 kids in Texas. Going even further this past year for the 2024 season, Charlie and his staff were able to raise over $86,000 between the Corps and other organizations on campus!
This year, our team has called upon the entire Corps of Cadets to once again help him bring Christmas where it's needed most, with a lofty goal of raising over $50,000 to adopt more than 500 Salvation Army Angels, but he can’t do it alone. Each outfit has been tasked with raising just $1200 over a span of a little more than 1 month. If each outfit reaches this goal, that comes out to just over $20 per cadet over the fundraising period.
It's time to bring the magic of Christmas to families in need. It's time to add to the list of 1,990 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.

Note from the founder, Charlie:
I could not be more proud of the opportunity to serve my community in this capacity, and I could not be more grateful for the overwhelming generosity by all who donate and shop. It is YOU who makes the project happen, all I do is organize. Without your help, there would be no Charlie’s Angels. I do not believe there is such a thing as a small contribution. Every single dollar and man-hour counts. Thank you so much for helping me bring Christmas cheer to children all across Texas. For any questions or donation inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact me or a member of my staff!
Note from the Chairman, William Ladkani:
I am so grateful for the opportunity to help Charlie serve the community and children of Texas in this way. The amount of people we are able to reach and support with this project is astounding, and couldn’t be done without your help. On our own, all we can do is point you in the right direction, but with you and all of our supporters, we can help bring Christmas to so many in the region. Thank you again for your support and please feel free to reach out to either me, Charlie, or any of my Staff!
Merry Christmas,
