About Me

Cha-Ching For Cha-Cha is an annual CHARITY EVENT that donates money to local residents in Los Angeles county who are hit with EMERGENCY VET BILLS.Cha-Ching for Cha-Cha SPRANG to life after my own 10 lb dog, Cha-cha Bella tripped as she was jumping off of our bed. She broke both of the bones in her front leg and dislocated her wrist.

This led to emergency surgery & vet bills of over $3800. This amount was staggering to us, but what choice did we really have? We LOVE our dog.

The vet did give us options... Euthanization, Amputation or costly surgery.

This situation forced us to get a loan to cover as much of the bill as we could through a program called CARE CREDIT. The remainder was thrown on a costly payment plan.

Luckily for us we got APPROVED for the loan... BUT this started us thinking. What about the people who don't have good credit? How many otherwise healthy animals have been put down because of a broken, REPAIRABLE limb? Can you honestly imagine putting down a 2 year old, fit as a fiddle dog (or cat) JUST BECAUSE OF A BROKEN LIMB? Our answer is NO.

ACTORS AND OTHERS FOR ANIMALS will be the BENEFITING CHARITY for this event. All of our performers are DONATING their time & spectacular talents to this event! In lieu of payment performers are receiving GIFT BAGS of items that have been generously DONATED. All CHINESE RAFFLE items are also generous DONATIONS. Vendors at this event either DONATED $25 to vend or DONATED a spectacular item for the CHINESE RAFFLE. Cha-Cha Bella is the NAMESAKE of this charity. NOT THE BENEFICIARY.

Television:

Let's make this HAPPEN!!!!!Help us become OUR own recognized charity!!!

I've been doing all of my research on how to make "Cha-Ching for Cha-Cha INC." it's own charity!!! I know myself and the other performers involved with the L.A. Burlesque/ Rockabilly/ & Pin-up scenes would be HONORED to have our names attached to something so wonderful. Pretty much all we need to do is legally register the charity. I've looked into this and it will cost about $475.00 to do this. Secondly we have to apply for a 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Status.That costs another $475.00. In the grand scheme of things that's NOT A BAD PRICE!!! IF only money grew on trees.. So naturally as part of our goal we want to make this official. We are serious about helping this cause!..

Books:

HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!!!! Are you a journalist looking for a story? We would love for you to share our story with the world. Any publications interested in helping us get our message out please get intouch!

Heroes:

People who are not afraid to speak their mind! Here is phrase that maybe you never really thought about.."Do unto others as you want done unto you". Take a moment to think about what that really means. It's okay to LOVE your pets. They LOVE you unconditionally...
