St Jude's Children's
Research Hospital.
Greg's Angels donated $500 in honor of Greg's birthday in June of 2007. St Jude's is also our project for 2008. We had no idea when we selected St. Judes in honor of Greg's birthday that there would be a personal connection to the hospital forthcoming. At Greg's 2007 Fan Club weekend event, he told us about his friends, the Parsons family, who had a toddler, Caleb. Caleb had just 3 days prior been taken to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis for treatment of a brain tumor. It was hard for any of us to imagine what the Parsons family may be experiencing but we were all struck with the irony -- so to speak -- that we had selected that very hospital for our most recent donation. We are praying for a miracle for the Parsons family and their young son but we are once again moved to action. Our project for July 2008 will be St Jude's Children's Research Hospital. In the meantime we are sending good wishes and any support we can to the Parson's family. To post your words of encouragement or read more of Caleb's story check out the family journal online at: St Jude's Children's Research Hospital

Team Tristan Cure Autism Now and Autism Speaks When Greg told us about his friend who had a little boy who had been diagnosed with Autism, we were not just touched but inspired. Many of our Angels were personally touched by this choice, as several have friends or family members who have been touched by this condition. Team Tristan is part of Cure Autism Now, seeking a cure for Autism. Our efforts produced $1100 for Team Tristan (July 2007.)

Dallas Children's Hospital.
The holidays are an especially difficult time for children who are ill. Our holiday goal is to send a mountain of art and craft supplies, along with small toys, to Dallas Children's Hospital. We selected this particular facility because it is located in Greg's home town of Dallas, Texas. Far away from the usual attention that childrens hospitals recieve, the Dallas location is a perfect place to spread some love and be angels for some very special children. Before Christmas 2006, the Angels shipped more than 80 pounds of a variety of gift and art items for the hospital. They were excited about the gift and we were thrilled to bless them with much needed supplies. We are working to exceed our that amount for the 2008 holiday season. |

The Gabriel Project was founded by Mark Melamed as part of a project with his middle school students. Years later this thriving charity is changing the lives of children -- literally. The project raises funds to sponsor children from underdeveloped countries who need life saving surgeries. The Angels donated $1250 to TGP in July of 2005. |
