Sponsor-A-Student

You can help give an at-risk student in our community a chance for success. Sponsoring a student can fulfill a child’s dreams and, in many cases, enable the first in a family to achieve high school graduation.

Help “Build A Path To Success” for children in need by selecting from a variety of donation options and sponsoring a student. Indicate the pledge amount and frequency of donation that is right for you and know you are giving a child wings for education. Download the Sponsor-A-Student brochure.

Circle of Friends

This annual giving campaign recognizes individuals and corporations who participate at a level of $250 or more. All donations support the overall mission of the Guardian Angel Society. Download the Circle of Friends pledge form.

Legacy Giving

You have an opportunity to directly impact the lives of children in need and leave a legacy of love that you and your family can be most proud of. Legacy Guild seeks members who will name Father Champlin’s Guardian Angel Society as a beneficiary of their estate. The Guild has made arrangements for legal services to be provided at no charge for those who are interested in making Guardian Angel Society part of their final wishes and would like assistance with the process.

To receive more information about Legacy Giving or if you are interested in receiving legal services to help you through the process, please call the Guardian Angel Society office at 315-422-7218 or click here to email. Download the Legacy Giving brochure.

Funeral Planning Designation

In your funeral planning, if you prefer that charitable contributions be made “in lieu of flowers” or just wish to designate, please consider the Guardian Angel Society as a recipient. Call the office at 315-422-7218 for assistance with these arrangements.

United Way

Matching Gifts

Employee matching gifts (also known as matching funds) are grants an employer makes to match its employees’ charitable contributions. Donors are often able to double or even triple the impact of their contributions by submitting matching gift paperwork through their companies. Please consider designating Father Champlin’s Guardian Angel Society as recipient of your matching gift program.

Memorial & Honorarium Gifts

Many donors choose to remember someone special by donating in their memory or honor. Donors may choose to honor a friend or family member for a birthday, Christmas or other significant occasion like a marriage or other achievement. The students at CAP keep those that have passed on in their prayers at school and we recognize them in our periodic newsletters.

Christmas Cards

Each year, Father’s kids are asked to design a Christmas scene or message. One is chosen for the annual Guardian Angel Society Christmas Card. A packet of cards is sent as a token of appreciation to all donors.
