From the President
Our Programs
Dear Friend of Angel,
Since 2001, Angel Foundation has
provided more than $4 million
in emergency financial assistance
and has helped more than
20,000 people through our two
program areas.
It is the goal of Angel Foundation to truly make a difference
in the lives of local adults with cancer and their children.
In 2013, the impact of our important work was evident.
Together with you, our vital partners, we achieved some
very significant accomplishments:
n We assisted more families than ever before in need of emergency financial
assistance, surpassing the $4 million mark in total dollars distributed since
our inception.
n We continued to grow our education and support programs for families,
including hiring two past participants of our Facing Cancer Together
program to direct our Teen Outreach and Teen Mentoring programs.
n We hosted our first-ever Urban Adventures Kids Kamp.
n We lauched our AngelPack resource kits for children, given to parents at
clinics and hospitals who are newly diagnosed with cancer.
There is much more work to be done. We need your assistance in not only
financial support, but in sharing the Angel Foundation story with others in
our community who can benefit from our Emergency Financial Assistance
and Facing Cancer Together programs — free, local and crucial resources for
adults facing cancer and their children.
The future is bright for Angel Foundation — especially because of wonderful
partners like you. I am grateful for each of you and the many ways you have
joined with us to further our mission. Thank you for believing and
investing in our important work and for making a vital difference in the
lives of families facing cancer in our communities.
Sincerely,
Emergency Financial
Assistance
Angel Foundation provides
emergency financial assistance
to adults in active treatment for
cancer in the Twin Cities. The
funds pay for non-medical basic
needs such as food, gas, utilities
and rent or mortgage payments.
Facing Cancer Together
Parents with a cancer diagnosis
and their children receive
accurate, age-appropriate
information about cancer and its
effects on the family. Participants
have the opportunity to ask
questions, share fears and
access support.
Through our many Facing Cancer
Together events, families receive
the education and support
needed to gain lasting skills that
not only strengthen, but forge
resilience in the whole family.

The Minnesota Charities Review Council’s
Standards of Accountability state that
at least 70% of an organization’s annual
expenses should be for program activity,
with not more than 30% for management,
general and fundraising expenses combined.
In 2013, Angel Foundation exceeded this
standard by directing 74% of our expense
back into programming for the cancer
participants and their families we serve.

Thank you, Rudolphs
We are constantly delighted
by the creative ideas people
and organizations come
up with to support Angel
Foundation. Among the
shining examples in 2013 was
a unique partnership with
Rudolphs Bar-B-Que. For
the entire 2013 calendar year,
Rudolphs Bar-B-Que donated
a portion of proceeds from
every bottle of barbecue and
coleslaw sauce sold to Angel
Foundation.
The products were available
at many Byerly’s, Coborn’s, Cub Foods, Festival
Foods, Kowalski’s, Lund’s, Rainbow Foods and
a multitude of other stores in Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Thank you, Rudolphs Bar-B-Que for generously
donating to Angel Foundation!

Heather
The first shock came
when 37-year-old
Heather learned she
had breast cancer.
After treatment and
reconstruction, she and
husband Tom were
hopeful. Almost two
years later, she learned
it had moved to her
brain. The shock of the cancer’s return meant she
and her family needed to learn to live with cancer
on a daily basis, and that is when they turned to
Angel Foundation.
“There’s such a thing at Angel Foundation about
living with cancer,” says Heather. “Every Angel
event we do fills our cup. It just feels good. It’s like
being surrounded by angels.”
From participating in Angel & Divas as a model
to enrolling her kids, Vince and Caroline, in Kids
Kamp to receiving emergency financial assistance,
Heather knows first-hand how support and
education while facing cancer can help.
“We needed money, and Angel Foundation was
there,” says Heather. “When I didn’t know what
to do with the kids, Angel Foundation said, ‘We
have a camp.’ I’m almost unable to speak about it
because it is just so beautiful.”

Dan
The transition from middle
school to high school is not
easy for anyone. For Dan,
it was feeling isolated from
peers because his mom
was diagnosed with stage 3
breast cancer and he felt the
responsibility to be the man
of the house. Then he found
Angel Foundation.
“I did not want anyone to feel bad for me but to just
remind me that they were there,”Dan says. “Angel
Foundation not only gave me the opportunity to escape
the world of cancer — by attending Wild games or
learning to cook pasta or rock climb — but rather a place
where cancer wasn’t taboo. Angel was a place where I
could just be a teen and not have to feel cancer weighing
me down.”
Dan continued his connection with Angel Foundation by
becoming a volunteer teen mentor, a role that allowed
him to share his experiences with other teens, and finally,
as a staff member, as the organization’s teen outreach
coordinator. “Angel to me is empowerment when stricken
with chaos,” says Dan.

Angel Foundation would
also like to thank more
than 1,400 donors and
community fundraising
events who contributed
less than $200 in 2013.
These contributions totaled
more than $95,000 and
were critical to the delivery
of our programs. In the
interest of conserving our
financial and environmental
resources, their names do
not appear in this annual
report.
We also want to thank
all who designate Angel
Foundation in their
employer’s United Way
campaign and other
federated giving campaigns.
In addition, we are grateful
to all who attended events
or purchased auction items
at one of our events and
to the multiple anonymous
givers. Each gift is
important and crucial to
our organization’s ability to
provide help when cancer
strikes. We make every
effort to acknowledge
our donors. Please accept
our sincerest apology and
contact us if your name was
inadvertently omitted.
Your gifts truly make
a difference.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT
Angel Foundation
7
“When cancer hit our house, and our little world was knocked around
quite a bit, Angel Foundation was there. When we needed financial help,
Angel Foundation was there. When our children’s fragile and frightened hearts
needed reassurance, Angel Foundation was there. When we found out
it had moved to my brain, Angel Foundation was there. When we were emotionally
drained and feeling raw and alone, Angel Foundation was there.
How comforting to know that, through every step of the shocking,
fearful and yes, sometimes the beautiful, parts of cancer,
Angel Foundation will be there. Thank you for all that you do.”
— Heather, Facing Cancer Together participant
and Emergency Financial Assistance recipient
