Kerryman's Crew Donates Toys July 2008 - A few Chicks decided to get together at Kerryman's Pub to celebrate with Chick Penny. Well of course Vikki had to have a go at the stuffed animal machine. Everywhere she goes she tries to win stuffed animals for future Chick events. When she told one of the awesome girls on staff why she was trying, the gal gave Vikki bags full of animals. She said folks win them all the time and leave them there. So the chicks walked out with moo cows, bears, dogs and even a Bozo. So! Thanks so much to the crew at Kerryman's for donating the toys but also hanging on to future ones for us to give to needy children. Visit Kerryman's Pub at 434 and Rangeline Rd. in Longwood, FL and win an animal for the Chicks!! P.S. If anyone has brand-new stuffed animals or toys and they would like to donate them to the Chicks please email us at chicksrule@charitychicksorlando.com! Sorry we can't take any used toys for what we do, please drop those to your closest charity store! |

These children did things like: notified families that their building was on fire, reported another child who was hurting herself, reported drug and alcohol abuse, helped Katrina victims, offered lunch to a friend who had none…and the list went on and on. It truly was refreshing to hear the more promising stories that occur in our society. Tony G and Kirk Mackey came out to be part of Emily's“crew”.

Recently we've been getting a lot of requests to be a part of Charity Chicks Orlando. So here are answers to the questions we receive.
1) Yes, in order to be a Charity Chick you must be a girl. However we love to have fellas help out, donate time and/or money and/or sandwiches, hang out during fundraisers, etc.
2) No, there is no age limit on being a Chick, Chicks can be 2 to 102, we don't care, we'd love to have you.
3) No, you don't have to do every event. Give time as your schedule permits. Give money as your wallet permits. Stress is not a Charity Chick attribute.
4) No we are not affiliated with any organization, religion or governmental group, other than being Charity Chicks Orlando.
5) No, no one receives payment, incentives or gifts in exchange for their time or money other than a feeling of well being and contentment ...possibly a case of the warm fuzzies. No one is employed by Charity Chicks Orlando or receives a paycheck, stipend or other reimbursement for anything at all.
6) Yes! We would love to help your non-profit organization; get noticed, raise money or help out. The Chicks themselves decide which organizations we will help. Please email our event coordinator Gina at gina@charitychicksorlando.com.
