Charity of the Year
For the eighth year in a row, we have chosen The Children's Angel Foundation as our Charity of the Year. The Children's Angel Foundation (CAF) is the fundraising arm of Hacienda, Inc. and Los Ninos Hospital, Inc., Arizona's leading provider (since 1967) of specialized services to infants, children and young adults who have medical, physical and intellectual impairments due to debilitating diseases, genetic disorders, accidents and abuse.

Random Acts of Kindness
"The Random Acts of Kindness— Foundation inspires people to practice kindness and to "pass it on" to others." The Community Outreach Committee of HSMAI promotes RAK throughout the year with a variety of community service projects and ideas meant to inspire involvement.

"As people from different cultures and from all walks of life are joining to spread kindness, they are creating a powerful, synergistic action throughout the world. Please join us in bringing kindness and compassion to our local and global communities!"
HSMAI members are a network of caring individuals who have the power to keep the momentum going.

The Greater Phoenix Chapter is acknowledging your RAK this year through submissions of a "Caught in the Act" form. If you saw, or know of, a random act of kindness performed by an HSMAI member, please share it with us.
