Project Angel Hugs!!

Celebrating Childhood Cancer Awareness in September As another page is turned in the 2018 calendar and kids head off to school, please remember that September is also Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Consider what you and your family can do to increase awareness: perhaps donating time or other resources, educating yourself or others, gathering a group and visiting the

PAH office or reaching out to a family touched by cancer personally.

Project Angel Hugs is a 501c(3) organization ministering to children touched by cancer and their families by sending monthly Happy Mail, Holiday and Birthday boxes. We utilize healthy local youth and instill in them a volunteering spirit while they do the cards and crafts needed to support our cross country effort.

Project Angel Hugs Sept-Oct 2018

Parents of enrolled children, If it has been a year since you updated your records with us, please do so at this time. Please go to www.projectangelhugs.com, click the Enrollment Tab and then Update. We are looking for updated information on what your child likes, their favorite things and also any updates you have on siblings under age 15. Address change updates are VERY important. It is important we have current info on kids in the program, who receive boxes, so we are able to send the very best boxes possible. It makes our hearts happy when notes from parents state that we “hit the mark” on all of the gifts sent! Only you can give us the infor-mation we need to do our very best!! Project Angel Hugs
