How to make donations to the Elves Program

Every penny donated to our program goes to help a truly needy girl or boy in one of our area schools. It costs approximately $125 to sponsor achild for the Winter Holiday Program and $25 to purchase a new backpack with school supplies for our Summer Backpack Program. There are two ways to donate:

1) Contribute directly to one of our Elf Leaders. This is probably best for people who work on the Cornell campus. Each of our schools has one or more leaders. Cash is great and saves us time. Checks are fine too and should be made payable to 'The Elves".

2) Send a check, made payable to "The Elves", to Bill Alberta, 751 Elm Street, Ithaca, NY14850. Bill will cash the check and bring the money to the Elf Leader of your choice.
