We are honored to support Gabby as she excels in gymnastics! Her father made the ultimate sacrifice in 2007 in Afghanistan, and we know Gabby deserves support as she grows up without the guidance and support of her father. We empower her by paying for her gymnastics, and we frequently encourage her through letters and calls, not just one time but every year all the way through her childhood until her 18th birthday! We can only honor our commitment if good people help us pay for her activities. If you shop at Amazon through Amazon Smile and designate Angels of America's Fallen as your charity, Amazon.com will donate directly to us! The donations from them really add up and help us support children nationwide. There is no cost to you, and it helps us tremendously. Please click below to support children like Gabby whose military or first responder parent gave all. Please shop AND share this post!! http://dlvr.it/Q27jRl #SeasonOfSmiles

Chick A Fila Skate A Thon

BENEFITING: ANGELS OF AMERICAS FALLEN

EVENT DATE: NOV 14, 2014

DAYS TO GO: 20

THE STORY:

Children of our fallen military and first responders have to grow up without their biggest mentor during their crucial developmental years. Funds raised from the Chick-fil-A First 100 Skate-A-Thon will help provide them healthy activities and mentoring as they grow into adults. 

Participants will raise funds and then skate from 10:30 pm until 6:00 am around the Garden of The Gods Chick-fil-A location. The more money each person raises, the longer breaks they will get during their all night skate-a-thon around the parking lot, AND they can recieve great prizes. Participants who complete the whole night will receive free Chick-fil-A food for a year!

Funds raised will go to Angels of America's Fallen (AOAFallen) to 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 AOAFallen 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 children's parent volunteered to serve, and gave all while doing so, they deserve support throughout the entire time they are growing up without them. You can have a very positive impact on the life of a child who's sacrifice without their parent is ongoing.
