Angel Tree Fundraiser

Dear Friends and Family of The Other Side Academy,

As we step into this holiday season, our hearts are full of gratitude. This year marks a decade of lives changed, families restored, and hope reborn. None of it would have been possible without the ongoing mission of saving lives by changing behavior.

At The Other Side Academy, more than 140 students are working every day to rebuild their lives. For many, this will be the first Christmas they spend sober, safe, and surrounded by a community that feels like family. 

This season, we invite you to join us once again in our Angel Tree Christmas Fundraiser. Every donation is spent directly on students and provides each student with three new outfits—a dressy outfit for interviews, a business-casual set for professional settings like tours or presentations, and an everyday outfit to help build a practical wardrobe—along with a warm coat, shoes, and personal care items.

We know times are tough and prices have risen everywhere, which is why your continued support means even more. Every dollar given is stretched carefully and spent with purpose. You can trust that your gift goes directly to creating joy and dignity for those who once believed they had lost it forever.

Your contribution helps us make sure each student experiences the kind of Christmas that most of us take for granted—a morning filled with love, gratitude, and a reminder that they matter. For those who arrived here with little more than the clothes on their backs, that feeling is priceless.

If you’ve given before, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your generosity continues to change lives in ways you may never fully see. 

Together, we can make this season shine with the light of hope, redemption, and the promise of new beginnings.

With heartfelt appreciation,
