Be An Angel charity drive raises funds by area schools
About 1,300 decorated angels by sixth graders across nine Ottawa area districts promote Be An Angel. Proceeds go to Kansas Special Olympics, with awards including trips to Washington DC and Kansas City for regional winners. Community members can adopt angels at the KPL Gas Service office on east K-68 to donate and connect names into a love chain display.
