INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may collect the following types of information:
Personal Information You Provide: When you donate, volunteer, sign up for our newsletter, contact us, or RSVP for events, you may provide your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, zip code, occupation, employer name, and payment information.

This information becomes part of the public record.
