Images of items for donation such as those for Operation Santa or Colors 4 Hope and all others are for illustration purposes only and may not depict the actual items acquired with donated funds. By making a donation you warrant that the mechanism that you use (credit card or otherwise) is owned by you or you have permission to use it, and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods or donation.

Since Funds 4 Hope donations are specified for certain purposes MHAGC takes seriously your designation of how you wish your donated funds to be used and will make a good faith effort to use your donated funds as you direct, i.e., to buy socks, combs, color for Colors 4 Hope races and more, but may reallocate donated funds to the area or program of greatest need if necessary. As an example, if Operation Santa needs 400 pairs of  socks and 400 combs, and the need for 400 pairs of socks is met, we may reallocate further funds donated for socks to be used to purchase other items, such as combs or deodorant, etc. Any such reallocated funds will be used with respect to our mission to promote positive mental health for all persons in our community through advocacy, education and service. You as the donator pledge not to seek any reciprocal favors from MHAGC, on the basis of your donation.

A complementary T-shirt and packet of color are included in the race packet which participants or their designated representatives pick up at a location to be announced, a day or days prior to the Colors 4 Hope race.
