Will you be attending?

	I will attend (and if I have guests, they're listed above).
	I am purchasing ticket(s) for someone else and will not attend.
	I don't want any tickets; I'm making a 100% tax deductible gift to support the Arboretum.

Proceeds provide support to the nation's first public "museum of trees" and make an impact through our programming, educational initiatives, and conservation research. Please note that donations to the Arnold Arboretum are considered tax deductible, except for $50 per guest which is considered goods and services per IRS regulations.

While the Arnold Arboretum is solely responsible for its own budget and philanthropic support, it is also an affiliate of Harvard University, Tax ID #04-2103580. If you’re planning to make a matching gift through your company, please use this Tax ID.
