News UPDATE: THE NEW NUMBER FOR BOTH GIFTS AND RECIPIENTS AS OF December 23, 2023 IS $133,800 AND 2500 INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.

The days just keep getting better for CAASH CHARITY, as far as, giving to those in NEED. As of December 23, 2023 just 63 months after our first gift on September 15, 2018, we surpassed the $133,800 mark in donations to people in Northwest Indiana and beyond. Even more amazing is that we have now helped over 2500 families or organizations in the process. The vision that we had when we first started even thinking about this Charity was to help a few people and at best maybe hit over $100,000 in 8 or 9 years. our goal now is for CAASH CHARITY to surpass the $150,000 mark by December 1, 2024 which is actually The Start of Year 7 for the date we were granted the License from the State Of Indiana.

The support we have had over this short time is just mind boggling and very humbling. From the very generous donations from our individual supporters, whether that is monetarily or by a pat on the back, to the larger groups that have been so generous, like the Neale Family, The Walmart Neighborhood Foundation, Stracks, Dunkin Donuts (DunkinJoy) , the Pete Panos salesmen group, Oak Hill farms, D. Bellile, Mass Mutual, CENTER LOUNGE and REGION SIGNS and the list goes on.

It has been so rewarding to help a family or a group that then thanks you, knowing that it is the cast of 1000’s that has made this vision grow. It is mind boggling to know that we have been able to help people in NEED in a dozen States. I hope I am around when CAASH CHARITY is able to say that they surpassed A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS in gifts! As one of the Co-Founders, and I know Fred would echo this even louder, THANK YOU ALL, INCLUDING OUR BOARD FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
