In 2017, I had the idea to team up with companies in the outdoor community to host an online auction, which would raise money to purchase Christmas gifts for children in need. Gifts include every-day necessities like clothing, but also include fun toys, and Christmas-themed gifts to lighten spirits!
This is how the Kendall Jones Christmas Angel Auction, (KJCAA) began.
Over the past 5 years we have been able to raise over $54,000, which has allowed our team to create memorable Christmas memories for over 350 children in need! The bar is set high this year, as we are hoping to give more kids than ever a Christmas to remember.
With that being said, I am proud to announce that the 6th Annual KJCAA Auction has officially kicked off! The last day of bidding will be on November 30th.
This auction holds a special place in my heart because my favorite holiday tradition growing up was going out with my mom and buying gifts for “Christmas Angels.” Every year, my mom and I would pick out “angels” (children in need) from local “Angel Trees” and get them clothes, toys, stockings — the whole sha-bang! I loved playing “Santa Clause” for kids in my local community, some I could have even known or gone to school with. Of course, everything is always kept anonymous for privacy, which made the whole process of giving all the more special. Christmas is a wonderful time to give freely, without asking for anything in return.
