Donations received before the event help us cover the many expenses incurred prior to event day. You may also contribute at the ceremony itself. You may participate with or without donating. (Of course, we are able to hold the ceremony only because of donations received to cover the costs.) During the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person events are not being held, donations may support online events or other related activities.
