It's that time again! Year number 13 - it may be unlucky for some but I feel it will be a great event!
Let's help Angels of America's Fallen reach the goal and then some!
For those who don't know, I've been involved with the Skate-a-thon since the inception and every year since #2 has been a fundraiser. The recipient again this year is AoAF, who helps provide healthy activities for children of our fallen so they can pursue a passion of their choice with a coach or instructor who can mentor them. When Angels provides the activities to the children, they commit to sticking with them from the time they sign up all the way until they are 18 years old.
Because the child’s parent volunteered to serve, and gave all while doing so, they deserve support throughout the entire time they are growing up without them. I've been blessed to be able to see the results of Angels' influence and position in these families, and hope you will help out as we push toward the goal!
About Angels of America’s Fallen:
Honoring our Fallen by Supporting the Dreams of Their Children
Angels encourages and supports healthy developmental activities for the children of fallen firefighters, military, and law enforcement. Angels empowers children of the Fallen to participate in healing developmental activities such as sports, music, and other arts as positive outlets for their grief from the time of loss until they reach adulthood. By pairing children of the Fallen with mentors and engaging them in activities, the Angels are more connected to their schools and communities, have healthy alternatives to drugs and alcohol and increase resilience which decreases the risk of suicide.
