Community Outreach
The HSMAI Community Outreach Committee plans and coordinates community service/volunteer projects throughout the year and serves as the liaison with HSMAI's "Charity of the Year" projects.
How will you make a difference in 2008?
The Community Outreach Committee is working on fun and impactful events for 2008. Our goal is to offer HSMAI members the opportunity to positively contribute to the community while having fun without a year long commitment. We welcome you to join us for one or all of our events.
If you'd like to participate on the committee or in any of the projects, please contact:
Charity of the Year
For the tenth year in a row, we have chosen The Children's Angel Foundation as our Charity of the Year. The Children's Angel Foundation (CAF) is the fundraising arm of Hacienda, Inc. and Los Ninos Hospital, Inc., Arizona's leading provider (since 1967) of specialized services to infants, children and young adults who have medical, physical and intellectual impairments due to debilitating diseases, genetic disorders, accidents and abuse. Click here for more information about CAF, or call Staci Glass, Director of Philanthropic Development, at (480) 513-9270 or email: stacibishopglass@cox.net.
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

On-Going Project:
CAF Thrift Store is looking for some available hands! Located at 4648 N. 16th Street (16th and Camelback), this new boutique has received a ton of donations- now they just need help sorting through it, pricing and merchandising the store. Contact Staci at 602-920-0367 with your availability! Weekdays or Saturdays during 9-5. Kids welcome to join in the help.
Summer 2008
Santa Splash
This annual event hosts 25 children from The Salvation Army at a local venue (still to be determined) for a day of swimming, food, safety and fun. Wrapped around the excitement at the pool, the kids will learn great water safety tips from the Fire Department, enjoy a delicious lunch and a surprise visit from Santa and his Elf bearing backpacks stuffed with back-to-school supplies. To volunteer please contact Laura Litke at 602-331-5232 or email litke-laura@aramark.com. We need your help!
December 2008
Holiday Caroling
Members and guests will visit and entertain convalescent homes in Scottsdale.
Other Projects
The committee is currently working on confirming a few other projects with Barrow's Neurological Institute, St. Vincent De Paul, Children's Angel Foundation and the Susan G. Kowman Foundation. We will keep you posted on the dates and projects as they come in.
