This year, for Idaho Gives, we are organizing a HUGE online auction event as our major fundraiser. This event will be accessible to anyone who has access to the internet. As of right now, we are soliciting for donations among individuals, businesses, and organizations. Every little bit helps in our cause! Our goal is to raise $15,000 with this event. Help us make it a successful one!

We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded a grant from St. Lukes through their Community Health Improvement Fund! This grant will go towards our "Wheels to Recovery" program. Transporting cancer patients to and from treatments and appointments is a huge piece of the work that we do. Without this program, many people would have no other option to get to their treatments. We are so thankful for this grant.
The global event #GivingTuesday is happening Dec. 1st, 2020! This is the end-of-year chance to get in one last donation before the New Year. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a way to encourage folks to give back to their communities through generosity. Here at Angel Wings Network, we are in need of monetary donations as well as volunteer drivers to transport cancer patients to and from treatment. One or two days per month commitment would help tremendously! Any size monetary donation would also be greatly appreciated because this year has been rough on everyone, including nonprofits. We were unable to do our two major in-person fundraisers this year, which directly impacts our ability to help cancer patients. #GivingTuesday is your chance to help!
