ONLINE CAMPAIGN TO BENEFIT SABA MEMBER UNDERGOING HARDSHIP/ILLNESS

However, SABA may post-campaign information on social media. Information submitted must be complete with campaign details, links and conducted with the cooperation and full knowledge of the SABA member to benefit. Social media posting is subject to SABA approval, at the discretion of the Executive Director and decisions are final. Please submit requests HERE.
