TODAY IS THE LAST DAY!!

***THIS JUST IN! PLEASE SHARE!!!***

The next 10 children who meet their AT goal of $1000, a donor will bump the bottom 5!! http://static.reecesrainbow.org/angeltreekids

Please help our 2011 Angel Tree Warriors get ALL of our Christmas Angel Tree angels to their goal of $1000!

This year's warriors have literally redefined our term 'Warrior'. They have worked so hard, and have given so much themselves!

The widow's mite is what is bringing these angels to their goals. What a lesson it has been to see so many work so hard on these children's behalf.

Please, search the cushions of your sofa, ask anyone you know, ask people you don't know!

Let's get these last children over that wall! I've watched these warriors raise $4000 in one day, I've seen them do a bump match for still more so I know we can do this.

Please help our last Angel Tree angels to reach their goal so that our Warriors can have a well deserved and hard earned nap tomorrow!

Only a Few More Days for the 2011 Angel Tree!

Angel Tree 2011 – Only a few more days!

The following children still need your help to meet their Angel Tree goal of $1000!

To donate to any of these children, CLICK HERE

The goal of the Angel Tree is to raise $1000 or more as an adoption grant for each waiting child with Down syndrome listed below. Ornaments are only available for the children listed on the Angel Tree page.
The minimum donation to receive an ornament is $35. You can give more for your child by adding additional funds in the empty box. $5 of each donation goes to our Voice of Hope fund, and the remainder to the child's grant.
Checks can be mailed to Reece's Rainbow PO Box 4024 Gaithersburg, MD 20885. AS LONG AS THEY ARE DATED BEFORE JAN 1, THEY CAN COUNT FOR THE ANGEL TREE AND 2011!
If you don't need/want an ornament, please choose "donation only".
International donors welcome, we will mail your ornament(s) anywhere in the world.
Ornaments are available as gifts, just check the "gift" box and Laurie will contact you for recipient/mailing info.
Try our new "Angel Tree Dollars" program….great as stocking stuffers, in Christmas cards, and as gifts for teachers/therapists, work colleagues, pastors and others from your church, anyone! The recipient then gets to choose their own child for sponsorship. Any questions regarding Angel Tree Dollars, please email Lucille.
