About Us
In the fall of 2007 we got the news few want to hear but unfortunately
many do. "We see something on your mammogram and we would like to do
more tests." The subsequent months brought MRI's, biopsies and two
surgeries to remove the cancer cells from Ann's (my wife and our
company's namesake) breast. Ann's doctor dubbed her a "poster child
for regular mammograms and early detection" and today she is cancer
free. During that time of fear, reflection, prayer, anxiety, then joy,
relief and gratitude, the Angel Annie's Dessert idea was born.
"Why not raise funds and awareness for women's cancer research,
education, and treatment, while enjoying delicious desserts?" Our
intention is to form Angel Annie's as a not-for-profit corporation and
to donate all proceeds to fighting women's cancers.
We plan on raising funds, through the sale of frozen Angel Annie's
desserts. Angel Annie's will be available first through hospital and
research facilities' cafeterias, then restaurants, coffee shops, cafés
and other locations. In addition Angel Annie's desserts will be sold by
non-profit groups of all sizes through fundraisers which will both
benefit the organizations and ultimately the cause. Finally, we intend
to make our products available for home delivery through an online
store. Soon, by enjoying these delicious desserts, you can help the
cause.
We are in the early stages of our development, but have made some great
strides. We are very close to securing a private label manufacturing
agreement with a woman-owned commercial bakery and are in discussions
with one of the largest hospital groups in our home state of Indiana
about joint marketing. We also intend to link to other sites that
support the cause as well as to a number of resource sites to provide
cancer education to those diagnosed.
With the help of other like-minded organizations, we hope to make this
a valuable website of women's cancer resources, because knowledge can
be very empowering for someone touched by cancer. We hope you will help
us in our quest to eliminate women's cancers by returning to this site
and eventually purchasing Angel Annie's and spreading the word!
