WHAT A HUGE SUCCESS
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OUR
Ribbon Cutting / Dedication Ceremony
The Catizone Angel Center

[/helpme_fancy_title][vc_column_text]Over a hundred Angels, Friends and Community Partners joined us July 21st, 2017 for our Ribbon Cutting Dedication Ceremony. It was an AWESOME event and if you missed it, please visit our website below and take a peek at our beautiful facility! Everyone who walked through the doors had a smile from the time they walked in until they left. The Angels paid attention to every detail for each of the three rooms to make sure they were perfect when our welcomed guests arrive. The Hope Room is for the infant to six years old, Winter Room, 7 to 12, Rufus Room, 13 to 18 and even a meeting room called Mavis where visiting parents and their children can enjoy a snack or if a meeting is needed, this room is perfect. Since we are sharing this facility with Ready For Life, it is our plan to make this facility a multi-function Center for other Agencies to use for meetings or training. We will officially be opening our doors to visitations starting Monday, August 14th 2017, 9:00 am to 7:00 pm! For scheduling Visitations, contact Andrea Cowart at [email protected] or phone: 727 742-4909

Special Thanks to Al & Susie Bennati for all they have done to help the Angels make their dream a reality, because of their very special relationship with two very special individuals who loved children and wanted to make a difference, Nick and Kay Catizone!

If you would like to have a tour, please join us on August 10th, 2017 from 5-7 PM for the Open House for Ready For Life where you can have an opportunity to see both facilities and you can see first-hand why this partnership is such a good match for our community and the children and youth we advocate for 24/7. Please rsvp if you would like to attend. If you want to attend the Open House, please contact either Kathy Mize Plummer or Sandy Kearney:

We Need YOUR Help!

PLEASE SPONSOR A CHILD – $25 PUTS A SMILE ON A FACE….

Our next major Angel event is our famous Mad Hatter Tea Party. To sponsor a child is only $25 and the Angels are matching $25 with every sponsor we receive. You still have time to make a difference and put a smile on the faces of these children who often have little to smile about! The clock is ticking because September 23rd is right around the corner. If you are able to meet this challenge, you can write a check payable to Angels Against Abuse, Inc. 5404 Leilani Drive, St Pete Beach, FL 33706 or you can pay via PayPal. Every dollar makes a difference and every child needs to smile, even if only for an afternoon. You never know the impact you will be making. Thank you in advance for helping us to help them!!!

Any Questions, just email me below.

THE ANGEL CENTER

The VISION that the Angels had for many years is now going to be a REALITY! That famous saying that Walt Disney says

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

“If you can Dream it, You can Do It!”

The Angel Visitation Center is scheduled to open its’ doors for Visitations starting August 2017. This Center is conveniently located near both Eckerd Community Alternatiives and the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, and many of our Community Partners for ease and convenience to the all the parties that impact a child’s life while in Foster Care.

This Center will be a place where children and their families will visit who are in the process of reunification. When they walk through the doors of this Center, the Angels want them to not only feel welcome but we want to instantly put a smile on their face! It is the Angel Way of doing things and making a difference in the lives of the children and youth we advocate for 24/7. Thanks to Clearwater Marine Aquarium and Florida Graphics Services, the theme of the Angel Center was A HUGE SURPRISE!

This is so EXCITING and our Community Partners were so excited and thrilled to see this facility that will bring so much joy to any child or adult walking through the doors..
