For DECADES now, Jenefer Palmer, her beautiful family and wonderful staff at @oseamalibu skincare have been donating 45 amazing Gift Bags to the moms and teens in our current Project Angel Wings Holiday Program, and we could NOT be more grateful! These bags are filled with lovely #Osea skincare products, as well as great products from their kind partner vendors. We just want to say-WE LOVE YOU, OSEA!

The incredible @anijahlezama and our awesome new friends at @rarebeauty for helping us wrap A TON of toys for our upcoming Project Angel Wings Holiday Program for underserved youth! #RareBeauty is also co-sponsoring next week’s event, and the Children’s Lifesaving Foundation could not be more grateful! I also donated some of their fabulous beauty products for the moms and teens this holiday season! What can we say, but- THANK YOU, THANK YOU-everyone at Rare Beauty!

Some wonderful children from @nvcsinc were DEF on Santa's "Good" List today! CLF made sure Santa made 25 bags full of great toys and gifts available to them-and thank you so much to Michael & the amazing staff there!

The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation truly cherishes our great friendship with the amazing folks at @homeboyindustries so very much, and for the past 25 years, in addition to inviting their wonderful families to our Surf Camp for All Program, the CLF has been donating a truckload of brand new toys through our partners for their awesome, annual Holiday Carnival!

THANK YOU, thank you, so very much to the wonderful @samanthabravophotos and @malibutimes for this wonderful piece on the Children's Lifesaving Foundation's Project Angel Wings Holiday Program's December 16th event! We are so grateful to them for this wonderful coverage...(and there is STILL time left, and until Dec 31st, to #GIVE and support our $15K Matching Grant Challenge with our amazing friends at @theopenheartsfoundation!

The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation is SO grateful to our wonderful friends at @aenetworks ( THANK YOU, thank you- Terrie P.!) for hosting a company-wide online toy drive for CLF’s Project Angel Wings Holiday Program for the THIRD YEAR in a row! We are so thankful to Terrie and the wonderful A+E employees who contribute to this drive each year!

Our Program Director Sean (second pic) went down to @themidnightmission on CHRISTMAS DAY with a truckload of toys for some of the amazing families gathered there for their awesome Holiday Program. CLF has been delivering truckloads of brand new toys to the Midnight Mission on Skid row in DTLA on Christmas Day for going on two decades now, often joining our dear friend @official_dick_van_dyke in giving away toys to the very sweet children there! We are so very grateful to the crucial work the Midnight Mission does, and we are so honored to call them good friends. We also hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Hanukkah, and CLF is wishing you a VERY safe and happy New Years Eve Weekend! Thank you for all that you do.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ONCE AGAIN, AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
