This year the Staff Council and UAB Leadership and Service Council are joining the Salvation Army in promoting their Angel Tree.  We've committed to providing gifts for 50 "Angels".  These "Angels" are children aged 10 and under from needy families who have applied for Christmas assistance through the Social Services program of The Salvation Army.  For many, these gifts will be the only ones they receive this Christmas.

You can sponsor an Angel on your own, or as a group if you prefer.  You will know your Angel's age, clothing and shoe sizes, and have a list of items to be provided.
