1. One action picture of you in your event, in uniform, and a separate headshot for promotional use by the Foundation (the more you send the more we can feature you!) If we have photos already of you from previous grant cycles, we will let you know.

4. Your permission to use this information for solicitation and publicity for the grant process and by the Foundation on social media (Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook) or in our sponsorship activities.
