If you'd like to help the Mountain Ridge High School Pride of the West Marching Band attend President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration parade, you can donate directly to the MRHS Band Aides, a 501(c)(3) by mailing a tax credit payment directly to the school:

22800 N. 67th Ave.
Glendale, AZ, 85310

Please specify whether you would like the credit to go to your 2008 or 2009 tax return.

A single person can donate up to $200 ($400 for married couples) and receive the 100 percent of the money back when he or she files his or her tax return.
