1)     Donation Amount: Enter your amount - $550 or $250 (if under age 35) by using the pencil icon.

2)     Frequency: If you select a recurring payment option, carefully select the duration of your recurring payment and note that the periodic payment will continue until modified by you. Please ensure your final payment posts no later than December 15^th. You may use this table to determine your monthly donation amount.
