The Beat Cancer Campaign Shugart Charitable Fund This time of year, many of us observe an unofficial no-shave November. Sometimes, it turns into “Don’t-Shave December”, and maybe even “Shave Not Until Spring!” While we have a lot of fun not shaving, comparing beards, and generally giving each other a hard time, what we’re really after is for someone to ask us why we’re observing such an occasion. According to the National Cancer Institute, by the end of 2021, approximately 1.9 million people will be diagnosed with cancer, and over 600,000 people will die. In November, we don’t shave to draw attention to the fact that cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US today. I enjoy not shaving for a few weeks each year, but this year, as a cancer survivor married to a cancer survivor, it’s time to put our money where our mouth is. Angela and I are launching a campaign, The Beat Cancer Campaign, to raise money for cancer awareness and research, and on this Giving Tuesday, we are inviting you to join us in this effort. As an inducement for you to participate with us, we will match the first $500 donated to this campaign. The charity we have chosen to support this year is the Mike Slive Foundation for Prostate Cancer Research. Mike was, among other notable things, the commissioner of the Southeastern Conference from 2002 to 2015. Following his own battle with prostate cancer, he started his foundation after his retirement to fund prostate cancer awareness and research. Mike ultimately lost his battle with prostate cancer in 2018. We have chosen B Charitable as the platform to handle all donations to the campaign. B Charitable is a charitable entity started by our son, Jonathan Shugart. It is a 501(c)(3) service that brings strategies like donor advised funds, previously available to only the wealthy, to the average contributor. You do not have to join to participate. However, if you do sign up with B Charitable, they will match the first $25 of your donation. So, with all matches applied, your tax-deductible $25 donation can become $75, your $50 becomes $125, and your $100 donation can be worth $250! So, please join us; together we can beat cancer. Also, please include your friends and social media contacts. You can forward this email, or click on the campaign link above to share with your social media followers. Thank you for joining us as we take one step closer to finding a cure to this terrible disease. We will keep this campaign active from now through the month of December. -

Carver Jones Market billy Clerestory exists to provide rehabilitative and developmental opportunities for folks moving out of crisis (addiction, poverty, abuse, etc) in the form of vocational, educational, residential, and community-building initiatives. This campaign will specifically support our Carver Jones Market initiative in Fairfield, Alabama. Fairfield, Alabama, located next to the city of Birmingham, Alabama, is a “food desert” in that there are no grocery or other retail establishments in the entire city selling fresh meat and/or produce. Carver Jones will address a huge need in the community for fresh, quality food, as well as the need for life and vitality in the middle of downtown Fairfield. The store will also provide jobs to local high school students and will provide critical job training and development. Construction is underway and approximately half of the funds needed have been raised! "Not merely to exist, but to really live. That’s the goal at CARVER JONES. We are here — in this place and at this time — to experience and provide more than the things we sell. This is about seeing individuals and families thrive. It’s about watching communities come together around the potential of what progress can bring..." Eat good. Live well. Be better. -

Maya's Spark Fund 2022 James Charitable Fund Maya was a beautiful girl. She took so much joy out of the everyday things: music, dogs, water, reading, and ipads. She was fun-loving, affectionate, and mischievous. She knew how to love and loved her family and school team deeply and well. People were important to her. She would find an “in” with a person and then just work it. You couldn’t help but love and laugh with Maya. She had challenges. She had significant medical issues, from her heart to her kidneys to her ears and her eyes. She had significant educational issues, still learning to count to 20 and learning how to read. Her being low verbal meant she had significant social issues as well. Being her mother meant coordinating doctor appointments, therapy appointments, and meetings with her educational team. It meant seeking out educational opportunities for me and social experiences for her. She had an amazingly positive attitude. Maya never anticipated disaster. She walked in fresh to each new experience. Maya passed away unexpectedly in April of 2021 ultimately from a complication from a surgery she had on day 2 of her life. She was 15 years old. We started Maya’s Spark fund to keep her legacy alive by supporting access to the programs that gave her (and our whole family) so much! The Maya’s Spark Fund had an incredibly successful campaign last year. We were able to raise over $24,000 last year. This allowed us to support access to so many of the programs that made such a difference in our lives. We made significant contributions to: Adam’s Camp New England Best Buddies Camp Communicate at the Pine Tree Society David’s House Down syndrome - Autism connection NAPA center NH Leadership Zebra Crossings Please help us continue her legacy! We are relaunching our campaign to fundraise for her fund on 3/21 -- World Down Syndrome day! We will gift again on her birthday in November. Be sure to watch the video and learn more about her and our mission. -
Cliff Place Cares Shugart Charitable Giving Fund We've been working hard to simplify charitable giving with our new platform, B Charitable. A big THANK YOU to everyone that has signed up, made contributions and provided feedback. We have a challenge and an invitation for our friends, family and neighbors. Some families from Cliff Place have selected six local charities to benefit from a crowdfunding campaign called Cliff Place Cares.

So if you give $1, your donation will grow to $1.50 after the match. Through grants to the following charities: Children’s Hospital of Alabama, Community Foodbank of Central Alabama, Magic City Woodworks, Neverthirst, Big Oak Ranch, and Lifeline, this campaign will provide 4,000 meals to hungry children in Central Alabama, dig a well in India that will provide clean water for 18-20 families, provide 3 months of living expenses for a teen needing a chance, teach life skills to 10 orphaned and vulnerable children, teach a trade and life skills to marginalized men, and provide access to world class healthcare for children of Alabama after our goal of $13,100 is reached. Together, we can make a greater impact in the lives of others. I’m excited to see our community rally together and support some amazing causes. Thank you for your generosity in helping others.

Saving Innocence Fundraising Campaign deannastag In honor of Giving Tuesday, I want to help raise awareness & money for a charity that I hold very near and dear to my heart, Saving Innocence. It’s an organization with a mission to recover and restore child victims of sex trafficking through strategic partnerships with law enforcement, social service providers, schools and other frontline professionals, while mobilizing communities to prevent abuse and increase neighborhood safety. When it comes to the idea of sex trafficking, it seems like something that could only be happening somewhere far away, but the reality is that anyone with a facebook account or instagram account is at risk. Saving Innocence is a Los Angeles based nonprofit that is in a unique position where they are actually partnering with law enforcement to act on reports within 90 minutes of getting the call that a child has been recovered. They stabilize the crisis as best they can, and then walk with those children through life back to a place of health and wholeness. These kids have been lied to and cheated in the most vulnerable time in their life, and need someone to care about them. The life expectancy once one of these children begins being trafficked is 7 years & Saving Innocence is working diligently to provide a system that helps lead them out of the darkness and back towards healing. We need people to rise up and be a part of the solution. We can add hope where these kids have lost it. The tide is turning, and Saving Innocence is a part of that turning tide! So this is a call to action for everyone reading this. As you start to think about the blessings that have come into your life throughout this past year and the support that you have been lucky to have, I'm asking that you donate to this campaign and together we can help support an organization that is serving SO MANY PEOPLE stuck in such a tragic situation. •• BONUS IMPACT THROUGH B CHARITABLE •• The first 100 donors to our campaign will receive a $25 contribution match, which is an extra $2,500 that we can use to help Saving Innocence. I hope you all will join me in this time of giving. DeAnna
