Our site ensures a secure giving environment to protect against the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of your personal and donation information. We use 128 bit SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology when your enrollment and transactions are transmitted. This is the world's strongest, most highly-sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our website's servers, meaning that no one else can read it while the data is instantly transferred over the Internet. To guarantee you are accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information, check to see that the web address of our final checkout begins with "http s ://". A closed padlock (with Internet Explorer) or an unbroken key (in Netscape) at the lower left-hand corner of your browser will also indicate that SSL is active and that your information will be securely transmitted.
