OUR ANNUAL GALA
A CLASSY HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA
SPARKLE WITH THE GLITTER QUEENS
 
The Angels will be inducting the The St Pete Glitter Queens into our Archangel Hall of Fame at our 2022 annual event. Break out your tiaras Queens, it is going to be a night to remember. We will have great music, food, entertainment, but most of all our guests will still know why the Angels do what they do in our community. Thanks to this amazing group of women, they chose Angels Against Abuse as their charity of choice in 2015 and helped us make a difference in the lives of the children and families we advocate for 24/7.
 
We have modified the attire by popular demand! We are asking that our guests wear something dressy Black and jazz it up with ORANGE, PURPLE, GREEN or any other Halloween colors. We want it to be a classy event, Angel style!
 
We would like to have some help with Silent/Live Auction Items, baskets or gift certificates. We need volunteers for set-up and tear-down for the event and any help is appreciated. Please email [email protected] with any assistance you can provide.
 
We can use everyone’s help to make our Silent Auction and Live Auction a big success. Whether it is a silent auction basket, a certificate to your favorite restaurant or spa, a gift card, or a special live auction item, we can use your help – PLEASE!

WE JUST RECEIVED SOME FANTASTIC NEWS
FROM
DILLARD’S TYRONE

On behalf of Angels Against Abuse, Inc. we would like to thank Dillard’s Tyrone for their overwhelming support to our organization. We just learned that in addition to the amazing silent auction items they have already donated to our organization, they have now extended another opportunity to help the Angels. Just wait until we share this amazing opportunity with all our readers and supporters!

Starting October 1st thru October 15th, Dillard’s Tyrone will open their doors early, 9:00 am thru 11:00 am, by appointment. This way we will know they are part of our Angel supporters to shop! Every department is participating in this opportunity to raise money for our upcoming Angel Gala, October 21st, 2022. Dillard’s Tyrone will be giving back to the Angels 10% of all sales. All you have to do is contact Lisa Rice at 727 251 8452 and let her know the day you would like to come in and shop. Even their employees are part of this wonderful and generous opportunity, with all of their purchases included in this 10% donation. Their employees have already been making donations to our cause with special events held within the store and building awareness of what we do with their customers, so we need to show our support as well.

Angels, this is a wonderful opportunity to make some additional funds for the Angels and show our appreciation to Dillard’s Tyrone for all they are doing to support our organization. So, get on your comfortable shopping shoes and let’s go shopping! Make sure you announce that you are an Angel!

Thank you for your support!

Once again the Sunshine City Kiwanis Club hosted another fantastic MAD HATTER TEA PARTY! On behalf of the Angels, thank you Allen Yergovich and Elizabeth Wulff for giving such a wonderful gift to children of all ages!
THANK YOU TO ALL THE MENTORS AND LEADERS AT FRIENDS OF THE CHILDREN TAMPA BAY FOR YOUR 12.5 YEAR COMMITMENT TO THE CHILDREN YOU ADVOCATE FOR ALL YEAR LONG

The Angels have partnered with Friends of the Children Tampa Bay for over seven years and we have had the opportunity to see the difference that these mentors are making in the children’s lives that they mentor for 12.5 years. This program allows a child to know there is a stable person in their life that can change their journey. These mentors are heroes to these children and the Angels want to thank each and every one of them for their support and guidance to these children.

YOUR ARE HEROES

CONGRATULATIONS FRIENDS OF THE CHILDREN ON YOUR 1.1 MILLION DOLLAR GRANT!

For all the amazing Friends who mentor the children in the Friends of the Children Program, a BIG shout out from the Angels on this well-deserved grant. We are so thrilled to be a partner with this agency who does so much for the children in their program! GO FOTC!

OUR OPPORTUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM IS A HUGE SUCCESS.

The Angels are putting smiles on the faces of children in our community with our partnership with Hero to a Child for the Opportunity Outreach Program. As these requests for the little things that make a difference in a child’s life come in, we fill them immediately with the hope that we are making a difference in this child’s life. This outreach program allows these children an outlet to build friendships, social skills and feel like any other normal child which will change their lives and give them HOPE for a better tomorrow..

The Angels partnered with Directions for Living approximately ten years and we have seen first-hand the impact they have had in our community. April Lott serves as the President & CEO of the local nonprofit Directions for Living and has for nearly 15 years. Her impact goes well beyond the work she does in that role. She is an incredible force for good. She is a fierce advocate for children, a relentless giver of altruistic time and talent and energy, and a true leader in the field of social services.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO

The Angels have been working with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, CPI Division for over 13 years and we have provided many programs that have made a difference in the lives of the children and youth we advocate for 24/7 addressing the needs requested by this division of the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. The investigators of the Child Protection Investigation Department work tirelessly to keep children safe while at the same time make their transition in the child welfare system as comfortable as possible.

The Angels have been partners with Healthy Start PAT Program for approximately six years providing infant needs and adopting families through our Christmas Giving Program. We have been a part of the impact that this organization has on the new moms and their babies over the years we have been a part of this program. Thank you to the staff and leaders of Healthy Start for all you do to give these little babies a healthy start.
The Kind Mouse has filled over 681,000 tummies. Thank you Gina for your hard work and all your mice helpers.

Happy Birthday Kind Mouse! You have touched so many children’s lives in the past 10 years.

YOU ARE A HERO!
