Hyatt’s Angels was established in 2012 by Doug and Samantha Fleegle in memory of their infant son, Hyatt Walker Fleegle. This special charity assists grieving parents by covering a child’s burial expenses and providing emotional support. Since the founding of Hyatt’s Angels, the funeral expenses of 30 children have been funded. In addition, Hyatt’s Angels made sizable contributions to the childcare center Hyatt Fleegle would have attended, as well as to the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep photography service that works through hospitals with parents who lose an infant at birth.

Doug Fleegle is a former Jennerstown resident and a graduate of North Star High School. He and his wife also have established Hyatt’s Run With the Angels 5K Run/Fun Walk fundraisers in Orlando, FL, Libertyville, IL, Tupelo, MS, and Hickory, NC.
