Benefactors--Charitable contributions

The Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) lists its financial supporters across a range of categories. It lists the contributors to the TRA from its six most expensive, or premium, membership categories. It also lists those who contributed to special needs funds of the TRA, like the USS Theodore Roosevelt fund, the Teddy Bears for Kids program, and the John A. Gable TRA Journal fund. The names of contributors in each category are alphabetized, and the logo of the TRA appears throughout the lists along with a text box containing the mission statement of the TRA.
