The East Texas Angel Network is a 501c3 non-profit organization located in Longview, Tx. founded by Famous East Texas native country music singer, Neal McCoy, and his wife, Melinda, who both wanted to support the families of children with severe needs. Every donation, sponsorship, and advertisement for our annual events is a major portion of the fundraising for the families enrolled in our network. Our annual fall fundraiser includes a golf tournament, sponsor’s dinner, and a benefit concert. Neal is the featured artist for the concert along with many friends from the entertainment industry who donate their time to the cause. Eighty-five cents of every dollar received goes directly to the families assisted by the East Texas Angel Network. The special guests donate time and travel expenses, while local hotels, merchants and restaurants donate goods and services. The only expenses paid out of monies raised are for necessities to facilitate the fundraising event, and paying the salaries of ETAN personnel.

Being unable to fund major medical expenses, the network may pay for travel, food, utilites, rent, and car expensees. In almost all cases the network pays directly to suppliers. We also make referrals for things outside of our capability (e.g. van conversions, wheel chair ramps, etc.).
