Angel Ball Baskets



Our annual Angel Ball will be held on October 30th in Durham, NC. We encourage all of you to come and attend. Money raised for CHERUBS will go to our CDH Family Support Fund.

We need baskets and other items for our silent auction! We encourage members to donate baskets in honor or in memory of their cherubs. Last year we had dozens of baskets in many different themes. This year we hope to have over 50 baskets. Here are a few ideas of basket themes....

Disney - antique Disney pieces, gift certificate to the Disney Store, or even tickets to Disney if you can afford to donate them

Noah's Ark - tickets to the Asheboro zoo, books on animals, "adopt" a zoo animal

Stars & Moons - buy a star, books on constellations, telescope, gift certificate to the UNC Planetarium

Butterflies - gift certificates to our local butterfly house. Also books on butterflies, maybe jewelry or ornaments of butterflies.

Dragonflies - books, photos, jewelry, ornaments, the movie Dragonfly on DVD

Sports - Duke, NC State and UNC baskets would be great items here in the Triangle! So would a Carolina Hurricanes basket for hockey fans or Durham Bulls or Carolina Mudcats basket for baseball.

Garden basket - seeds, gloves, small tools, bulbs, plant vitamins, book on gardening

Electronics - cell phone, ipod, chargers, etc... lots of electronics stores are franchises with local owners who will be more likely to donate

Games - big basket full of the traditional board games.. Monopoly, Scrabble, Yahtzee, etc


Photography Theme - you could include a digital camera, memory card, gift certificate to have prints made, picture frames, photo album, etc

We are also looking for celebrity autographed items to auction off. If you can help us to contact celebrities or can donate items, please contact us.
