You may choose to establish an automatic payment plan to complete your pledge or request that courtesy reminders be sent out instead. Please call (310) 206-3302 to discuss different options regarding a pledge to the Wooden Athletic Fund.

Securities

Gifts of securities may be made as an outright gift or as payment on a pledge. Gifts of appreciated securities can be attractive to you because no capital gain is recognized on the transfer. Please contact the Securities Coordinator at (310) 794-3434 for detailed transfer instructions.
