COSTA MESA, Calif. - Aug. 8, 2018 - PRLog -- Angelitos de Oro, a Santa Ana-based volunteer auxiliary group, is partnering again with South Coast Plaza for Angelitos Card Week benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire. Taking place this year from Oct. 3-9, the weeklong exclusive shopping fundraiser offers cardholders 20 percent savings at more than 120 participating South Coast Plaza boutiques and restaurants.

Cards will go on sale for $60 beginning Aug. 15 at angelitosdeoro.org.

All proceeds from card sales will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Over the last 57 years, Angelitos de Oro has contributed more than $6.5 million for the organization's one-to-one mentoring programs for youth facing adversity.

"Angelitos Card Week plays a key role in our ability to build meaningful mentoring relationships for underserved youth in our community," said Sloane Keane, chief development officer, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire. "We deeply appreciate Angelitos de Oro's longtime commitment and the impact the group has had in helping our youth and mentors reach milestones they never thought possible, such as high school graduation."
