Holiday Cards and Year-End Giving
Each year, Communities In Schools of Charlotte-Mecklenburg invites you to honor someone special in your life through our annual Holiday Card Sale. Whether celebrating someone who inspires you or remembering someone dear, your gift helps support our mission of surrounding students with a community of support.
For a suggested donation of $15 per card, CIS-Charlotte will mail a beautiful holiday card to your chosen recipient, letting them know a gift has been made in their honor or memory. It’s a thoughtful way to spread holiday cheer while making a lasting impact in the lives of local students.
Meet This Year’s Holiday Card Artist: Ana!
Meet Ana, our amazing holiday card artist! This fifth grader at Billingsville Cotswold Elementary is a spelling bee champion, proud big sister, and Safety Patrol superstar. When she’s not playing volleyball or showing off her bilingual skills, you might find her enjoying her favorite sweet treat: a brookie (half brownie, half cookie)! We’re so excited to celebrate Ana and her creativity this holiday season. Her artwork brings an extra-special touch to this year’s cards!
