and subject to the following terms and conditions. All orders are subject to

Mental
Health America of Greenville County is a
non-profit corporation, tax exempt under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of the United States of America (US). Donations made in US Dollars

registrations are not eligible for deduction.
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. When
you make a donation your donated funds are charged to your credit card and transferred
to MHAGC's PayPal account. Purchases are charged and transferred in the same
manner. Donations are made as unrestricted gifts and are not considered to be
specified for any particular purpose, with the exception of donations made
through the Funds 4 Hope portion of mhagc.org. 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.
Colors 4 Hope merchandise purchased
by race participants such as additional T-shirts, color, etc. will be picked up
by the participant on the day of the event at the race site. 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.
