If you have appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year, you can donate them to Steel Magnolias and avoid tax on the gain. It is our policy to sell donated securities within three business days of transfer, so special needs children benefits immediately from your gift. You benefit by supporting Steel Magnolias, with significant tax savings on your gift. Please contact President Bobbie Fesler or Treasurer Hilda Sanchez at 562-331-8007 for more information about this donation option.  You can also email Bobbie at president@steelmagnolias.org or Hilda at treasurer@steelmagnolias.org
