The
Organization
Amigos
de los Niņos, Friends of the Children, is a non profit corporation
founded to bring together like minded professionals who believe in the
value of giving back to others out of their own success. We believe that
by working together, we can help others in need and provide needed assistance
to disadvantaged children.
Amigos
de los Niņos is supported by the volunteer efforts of these business
people. We are eager for new members to join us in our efforts. Amigos
de los Niņos asks for only a little work each year, the rewards
to the organization and to each of us is great.
The
Individuals
We
are a group of business people, mostly located in the Orange County area
of Southern California, who are dedicated to improving the lives of challenged
children and their families. Each of us believes that by giving back to
our community, to those with genuine and the greatest needs, we are all
enriched. We volunteer our time and resources to hold two events each year
that typically raise $100,000. This money is given, in the form of grants,
to local service organizations that provide direct and needed help to those
members of our community less fortunate than ourselves. We believe that
the more we give, the more we receive.
Our
History
Amigos
was founded in 1981, when a small group of business people in the Orange
County area of Southern California, came together to raise money, as part
of a volunteer organization, to support local organizations which provide
services to disadvantaged families and children. Amigos has remained true
over the years, to its founding principle of being a volunteer organization,
composed of local business people, raising money through a few, fun events,
to help families and children in need.
