Patriot Bank is additionally donating 100 new toys, one on behalf of each of its employees. 

Al’s Angels provides holiday meals and gifts every year, as well as life-saving medical treatment, to more than 9,000 children and families challenged by cancer, rare blood diseases, AIDS and domestic violence. 

The nonprofit organization was founded in 2004 by Westport resident Al DiGuido, founder and chief executive officer of marketing firm Zeta Interactive, who served as a board member of numerous charities for many years. Through his work, he learned about the high number of children and families struggling with financial difficulties in the wake of affording treatments for cancers, rare blood diseases and other illnesses. 

Al’s Angels was born after he decided to devote even more of his time to helping these families.
