Support Our Charities
Stingray Jim wishes to use his notoriety and efforts to support Children's Charities at Adios, and he hopes you will support this worthy cause with him.
In 1990, the extended family of Stingray Jim formed Children's Charities at Adios. Its mission is to support charities that help children and the elderly to overcome birth defects, disease, or unfortunate accidents. These carefully-selected charities are loving, effective organizations that are sincerely working hard so the people they benefit can overcome adversity and "live" as normal lives as possible.
Stingray Jim's son, John Bertakis, is a past President of this organization and currently is on the Board of Directors, where he has served for many years. John's father-in-law, Anthony Giorgio, is Co-founder of Children's Charities at Adios and has been on the Board of Directors since inception. Children's Charities at Adios has been a part of our family for many years, and we are very diligent and passionate about supporting its fine efforts.
