To Angel Party Alumni

It’s been ten years and through those years we’ve had incredible help from lots and lots of people, many of whom have left São Paulo and moved to other parts of the world. Some of you were very involved, from organizing the party to serving ice cream at the party to buying gifts for four or five children each year. And some of you offered moral support and sent cookies.

Either way, we miss you. A lot. Not just because you helped but because, well, we miss your being here. There are ways our Angel Party Alumni can still help, if you still feel as connected to us as we feel to you.


• You could consider making a donation. Two hundred and fifty reais buys a gift bag for one child and we’d go shopping for you. That same amount of money buys a heck of a lot of chocolate. It also buys some really goofy prizes down at 25 de março, or water and soft drinks for the party, or helps pay for part of the entertainment.

• If you’ve got the connections, you could shop in the States and send things to us, either the gifts for a specific child or a set of prizes or candy.

• You could organize a fund-raiser in your community and help pay for the entertainment or all the prizes or the transportation for the kids. Or a fund-raiser to buy sweatshirts for some of the kids, or new blankets for one institution or a contribution to their library.


• You could write a note to your co-workers or friends who still live here or have moved here in your place and explain the party to them. Urge them to contact us because we’re here for their warm fuzzy comfort come Christmas. And this is a great way to meet people, right?

Mainly we just miss your energy and excitement about the party. Drop us a line if you’d like to help. Or just drop us a line to say how you’re doing!
