Benefactor

### Intro/Disclaimer

The benefactor program is a way for the chapter to try to reward its members for supporting the chapter financially. There is a PayPal button at the bottom of the page where you can sign up. Below are the rewards for the tiers.

**Canceling your benefactor subscription will result in removal of any reward items (except for the pendants)**

Due to the extreme cost of the higher tier rewards, you cannot expect to receive benefits if you cancel your subscription. **Many** of these rewards would far exceed 4 months of subscription.
