Tori’s Angels Foundation hosted its annual gala on Saturday, Sept. 26 with a dinner and fundraiser at the Guthrie County Fairgrounds in Guthrie Center with a the theme of “Reach for the Stars!”

The proceeds from gala ticket sales, as well as the live and silent auctions, will go toward Tori’s Angels mission of supporting families with children suffering from life-threatening medical conditions.

To date, the foundation has accepted more than 213 children with life-threatening illnesses and currently supports more than 150 children across Iowa. 

Tori’s Angels Foundation has been raising funds to help the families of children with life-threatening medical conditions by paying medical expenses that are not covered by insurance. Once accepted into the program, the child is supported from the date of sponsorship until his or her 19th birthday. Covered expenses include travel to obtain medical treatment (airfare, mileage, hotel, meals), as well as prescriptions, medical devices and insurance co-pays and deductibles. The foundation depends on the generosity of a large community of “Angels” to help relieve the financial burden for these families. 

Anyone wishing to help Tori’s Angels children is invited to send monetary donations to Tori’s Angels at P.O. Box 186, Panora IA 50216. Online donation options are located on the foundation’s website, www.torisangels.org, and on their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/torisangels. The organization also welcomes anyone who is interested in becoming a volunteer.
