Monetary Donations

Monetary donations have been essential to help cover out of pocket costs of the reunion (such as venue rental, catering, entertainment, decorations, security, insurance, supplies, postage and mailing, and similar reunion event expenses).  No funds were left from prior reunions, and the volunteers organizing the reunion advanced personal funds to make the reunion happen.   Donations have helped keep ticket prices reasonable and we anticipate some funds will be left for the next reunion. There are three ways to pay:


1.PAY BY ZELLE.  Pay from your personal bank account directly to the reunion bank account via Zelle, generally with no fees. If your bank offers Zelle, you can log in to your personal bank account and add "AHS 1976" as a Zelle recipient with this email address: altonhighschool1976@gmail.com or phone: 618-581-9935.  Fill out the "send money with Zelle" form with your desired donation amount, "AHS 1976" as the recipient, put "Reunion donation" on the "what's this for" line, and then follow the prompts.  Be sure to review the transaction carefully before completing the transfer, as Zelle transfers generally can't be cancelled or refunded.  You can also use your phone camera to scan the Zelle QR code below to start your Zelle transfer--the link will take you through all the steps:

OR 2. SEND A CHECK.  If you prefer to write a check, please make your check payable to"AHS 1976," write "Reunion Donation" on the memo line, and mail it to:  Nancy Matis,  1803 Paris Drive, Godfrey IL 62035.


OR 3. PAY BY CREDIT CARD. Fill out the form below, which will take you to a credit card payment page.  Please consider adding "help cover the fees" to your donation if you pay by credit card.


Sorry, we are not able to accept Venmo, Apple Pay or Paypal.


Thanks for your donation, and we look forward to seeing you at the reunion!
