Whether your stocks have gained or lost value, you can receive tax advantages. Please consult your financial advisor about your specific situation. Here are some tips:

The smart way to give appreciated stock:

• Donate shares of appreciated stock directly to CCA and receive a double tax benefit by avoiding capital gains on the profit you’ve gained and receiving a tax deduction for the fair market value of your gift.

The smart way to give depreciated stock:

• Sell shares of depreciated stock and then give the cash proceeds to CCA and take both the loss deduction and the charitable deduction.

Please provide your broker with the following information to facilitate the transfer of appreciated shares:

CCA Tax ID #: 93-1181662
DTC #:0164
Account #: 5686-0349
Account name: Children’s Cancer Association
Broker: Charles Schwab
