ABR Membership Form

Gifts of cash, personal check, and credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express) are the easiest and most common ways to support Appalachian Bear Rescue. You may mail your gift to ABR PO Box 364 Townsend Tennessee 37882, or you may call (865) 448-0143 and make your donation over the telephone. Please be sure to specify that you are donating to ABR. Gifts of securities (common stocks, bonds, mutual funds) may also be donated to Appalachian Bear Rescue. Like monetary donations, donations of securities may qualify for favorable tax treatment. You have several options when making a gift of stock. You should consult your tax advisor for further information. If the certificate is in your possession, you may mail it to Appalachian Bear Rescue. If the shares are held in an account with your broker, these can be transferred to a ABR account. To make arrangements to contribute securities to ABR, please call Jack Burgin, Kramer Rayson LLP, (865) 525-5134 Ext. 115.
