Computer Tracking and Cookies

Our website is not set up to track, collect, or distribute personal information not entered by its visitors.

  • Registering for a program or special event
  • Opting in to one of our email lists either at one of our sites or one of our partner sites
  • Making a donation to the Foundation
  • Entering a drawing or contest either online or in-person at a live event
