Please Help OCD Southern California With A Donation!

Tax ID# 45-1749394

Link To Donate: OCDSoCal.org/get-involved/donate/

Dear Friend of OCD Southern California,

You are important to those in need! A donation to a non-profit organization benefits others as well as you by being tax deductible!

OCD Southern California provides educational programming, resources and advocacy for individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder, hair pulling, skin-picking, body dysmorphic disorder, and hoarding. Many of these individuals are unable to afford the specialized treatment required to effectively recover from these symptoms. OCD Southern California holds low-cost conferences and free special events several times per year to help individuals with OCD and their family members. Scholarships are provided for those who are unable to afford the conference fees. Programming is costly, and we hope you are able to support these efforts.

To recognize those who donate, your name, or the name of your organization, will be displayed at the OCD Southern California 2019 Conference on March 30thin Irvine, as well as on the OCD Southern California website (unless you specify you prefer to remain anonymous).

Several levels of donation are available:

Diamond: Greater than $1000.00

Platinum: $501.00-$1000.00

Gold: $200.00-$500.00

Silver: $100.00-$199.00

Bronze: $50.00-$99.00

Friends of OCD Southern California: $10.00- $49.00

We need your help! Join those who have already donated! Feel great about yourself knowing that you are helping others!

Without your donations, we would not be able to bring the high-quality programming to our large catchment area. Thank you for your generosity and for supporting our ongoing effort to bring pride to our OCD Southern California community!

Sincerely,

The OCD Southern California Board of Directors
