When it comes to the holidays and charitable giving, there is no
better combination of both than the Angelitos Shopping Card. This is
the third year the Angelitos de Oro, a support wing of Big Brothers
Big Sisters of Orange County, is teaming up with the good folks at
South Coast Plaza to create a shopping partnership offering discounts
to donors.
It’s a huge undertaking for the 50 ladies of Angelitos de Oro who
are busy selling the $50 card to generous citizens. The card entitles
the bearer to a 20% discount on regular purchases from Nov. 4-9 at a
host of participating South Coast Plaza stores. The $50 card purchase
is tax-deductible and benefits the charity. The co-chairs of the
program are Newport’s Bonnie McClellan and Pam Muzzy, who are working
with Angelitos president Brenda Currie. Some of the hard-working gals
who are selling tickets are Cecilia Nott, Toni Berlinger, Pam Howard
and Jayne Lally. Also contributing are Darby Manclark, Martha Fluor,
Laraine Eggleston and Susan Anderson.
To get a head start on holiday shopping, the ladies are throwing a
“Latte and lite breakfast” Nov. 4 at Nello Cucina, prior to a “shop
till you drop” day at SCP. To purchase a card, log on to
https://www.angelitosdeoro.org or call (949) 642-9883. The SCP
concierge also has cards available.
