Assistance League of Capistrano Valley "Virtual" Walk-4-Kids Fundraiser

Dear Friends and Family,      

I am a member of Las Felices “the Happy Ones”, an auxiliary of the Assistance League® of Capistrano Valley (ALCV). The members of our group support the activities of the league, and I ask you to join me in supporting this important fundraiser, ALCV’s First "Virtual" Walk-4-Kids walk-a-thon! This will be the largest and most important fundraiser for the organization in 2020. 

Funds raised will not only support the philanthropies listed below, but they will also help Las Felices to continue to support the Hug A Bear and Trauma Togs programs. Hug A Bear provides teddy bears to children experiencing trauma and Trauma Togs provides new sweat suits to patients who need clothing when leaving local hospitals and trauma centers.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed many aspects of life, including forcing the temporary shutdown/reduced hours of the Bargain Box thrift store which provides much of the funding for our philanthropic programs. 

One thing that hasn't changed is that local children still need our help. Proceeds raised through ALCV's Walk-4-Kids will enable us to provide the help that so many of these children absolutely depend on.

Last year the ALCV returned over $156,000 back into the community through our programs

• Back to School clothing for over 1,000 CUSD students
• Grants to middle school teachers to enrich their classroom instruction
• New clothing for children on Camp Pendleton (newborn to high school seniors)
• One to One assistance in literacy for special needs elementary students
• Scholarships to graduating seniors from military families
• Scholarships to aid deserving students returning to college to earn their degrees

This was accomplished all through sales at our Bargain Box and donations from people like you and many hours of volunteer service from people like me.

We have automated this critical fundraiser to make donations quick and simple. This is Las Felices webpage where friends and family can donate funds to help families and children in need.

ALCV is a non-profit 501(c) (3) EIN #95-3201899

Thank you for supporting our "Virtual" Walk-4-Kids and local children in need!
