DAWe are excited to invite you to be a part of Jingle & Jazz, A Celebration of Life & Hope a festive and meaningful event that will take place on December 9, 2025, at THE VENUE AT STONEBROOK MEADOWS, 21030 Whippoorwill Ln, Bauxite, AR 72011

Jingle & Jazz, A Celebration of Life & Hope embraces the essence of the season, from November being Adoption Awareness month, Thanksgiving moving into the Christmas season and January being Sanctity of Life month! We want to embrace it all! I am incredibly excited about what the Lord has in store for this ministry going forward.

Our primary goal for Jingle & Jazz, A Celebration of Life & Hope is to raise $75,000. These funds will be instrumental in expanding our marketing campaigns to reach more single pregnant women in need of our services. We aim to reach new donors who may become major contributors and establish ongoing support. Additionally, we aspire to expand our services, increase our staff, and build a home for single pregnant women.

We have numerous success stories and testimonials from individuals positively impacted by ABBA Charities' services. These stories reflect the transformative work we do and the profound value of your support and we can’t wait to share a few of those stories at this year’s event.

So, get ready to enjoy the heart-warming stories of life and hope, the sounds of Christmas presented by the UCA Student Jazz Band, and take home some amazing gifts to put under the tree through our Silent Auction all while making an impact for life!

On behalf of ABBA Charities, Inc, we thank you for your support.

MEET OUR INSPIRING SPEAKERS:

CATHY BROWN - A Beacon of HOPE:

🌟 Meet Cathy, a resilient soul whose journey through the complexities of adoption reflects strength, hope, and unwavering faith. Fifteen years ago, facing daunting circumstances, Cathy found herself at ABBA, seeking a glimmer of hope. Through the adoption process and the invaluable personal support she received, Cathy not only embraced a new chapter but allowed God to weave transformative threads into every aspect of her life. The lifeline extended by ABBA didn't end with paperwork—it became a lifelong connection. Cathy's bond with Kandi has transcended mentorship, evolving into a cherished family-like relationship. Today, Cathy stands as a testament to the miraculous work of the Lord in her life. Empowered by her own journey, she now dedicates herself to giving back to others and having a compassionate heart. Cathy, a beacon of strength, resilience, and the transformative power of love. 🌈 #Inspiration #AdoptionJourney #ABBAFamily

MEET OUR JINGLE & JAZZ AUCTION HOST

Mike Shnaekel ~ He’s not a professional auctioneer… but he is a Marine. Get ready for fun, generosity, and a whole lot of heart

Mike brings heart, humor, and a touch of Marine Corps grit to his role as the Jingle & Jazz Auction Host. A proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Mike served around the world—from Okinawa, Japan to Mogadishu, Somalia—before returning home to Arkansas, where he continues to invest in his community through leadership, service, and strong family values.

While Mike is not a professional auctioneer, he is well-known for his ability to connect with people, bring warmth to a room, and keep an audience engaged with his natural charm and lighthearted spirit. His willingness to step into this role reflects exactly what we love about him: he shows up, he serves wholeheartedly, and he brings joy to every space he enters.

This year, Mike joins ABBA Charities at Jingle & Jazz with one mission—help guide our silent and live auctions in a way that is fun, meaningful, and impactful for the families and mothers we serve. And in true Marine fashion, he’s ready to take on the challenge… even if the job description doesn’t come with formal auctioneer training.

We are honored to have Mike Shnaekel, our 2025 Jingle & Jazz Auction Host, partnering with us as we celebrate life, hope, and the mission of ABBA Charities
