Two ways to give

Give once, or rally a team.

Both go to the same place, the scholarship program in Jerry’s honor. When online giving opens, you can pick whichever fits how you want to show up.

Give once

Make a single gift in Jerry Ondo's honor. Every dollar supports the scholarship program, in his memory.

Start a fundraiser

Rally your unit, your team, or your family. Set a goal and invite others to give in Jerry's memory. Peer-to-peer fundraising opens with the platform.
