As a One805 Honorary Board member, you will be one of our most important supporters. In return, you will receive an invitation to our annual cocktail reception at the Montecito Club, advance event ticket sales, $1,000 in ticket discounts, a carbon-fibre “One805 Board Member” license plate holder, opportunities to meet our local Chiefs, invitations to Honorary Board only events, and more.

One exclusive and fun event we are planning is a day tour that will include Vandenberg Space Force Base, the SWAT team shooting range, the County Air-Support Unit, and a First Responder BBQ lunch. We have a lot planned for this year! To qualify as an Honorary Board member, we ask that you donate $5,000 or more, and this immediately enrolls you with all the above benefits.

#1 is gifting shares from your investment portfolio, especially those you have held for some time and that may have appreciated considerably. This can allow you to release the full value of the shares. For example, if you have a chunk of Apple Stock you bought many years ago, and it is impossible to realize the full value of it due to the taxable capital gains, you can donate it to One805 and release 100% of the value as a tax-deductible donation to a 501 (c)(3).

Please consult your tax advisor as individual circumstances may vary

Have you considered a legacy gift? Many people choose to leave a significant donation to a non-profit, payable on their passing. It is a wonderful gift to give One805, as your legacy will live on, helping care for our next generation First Responders, so they can care for your next generation of family.

All of our funds are managed locally, by Merrill Lynch. Please contact donations@One805 if you think either of these options might be something you would like to discuss. We thank you for your ongoing support of our First Responders!

Cabanas were in high demand this year and the “cabana experience” was second to none! A Sprinter limo whisks you and your guests straight into the show grounds and, in addition to a great view of the stage, your guests have access to a full cocktail bar and gourmet food stations. You can book your cabana now, and even use your high-capital-gain shares to pay for it, tax free!
