We cannot sponsor, solicit sponsorship or reimburse expenses for your fundraising event. Please let us know if you recruit underwriters/sponsors for your event to avoid conflicts with our own solicitation efforts. In addition, all your promotional materials should note:

The portion of donation, event ticket price or proceeds that will be directed to the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡.
