Yesterday our office kicked off the holiday season with a Drive for the Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors. Our 
office adopted 50 Angels this year for the Angel Tree Charity and Sharon Kowitz and I were the co-chairs for this event.
The Salvation Army's annual Angel Tree charity event provides an excellent opportunity for those who want to make a difference to bring a smile to the faces of underprivileged children during the holiday season. This giving opportunity doesn't require a significant commitment of money or time, so it's an excellent choice for donors with very small budgets as well as for those who are able to make a significant contribution.
About the Angel Tree Charity
The ultimate goal of the Angel Tree program is to get new toys and clothing into the hands of needy Children during the holiday season. Families who are eligible to participate in the program submit requests for items that each child in the household needs to the Salvation Army in advance of the holiday season.
The Salvation Army relies on sponsoring organizations to pick-up angel cards from the RRAR. An angel card is made for each child that includes details about the requested items. Each card includes the first name of the child who will benefit from the donations, his or her gender, and their age. The angels may also include clothing and shoe sizes, particular items requested, and other information.
I am so proud to say that our Angels for our angel tree were wrapped and delivered to our "Santa Sleighs" and will be delivered to the Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors today. Thank you to all who helped a child have a Christmas morning in 2015. It's been a pleasure to donate my time to this holiday season for such a worthy cause!
