Post 496 Donations and Sponsorships

Why Donate To The American Legion?

For over 100 years, the American Legion has led the way in supporting Veterans and their families through many activities:

• VA claims assistance for service-connected medical issues
• Emergency Veteran financial assistance
• Education and career support services for discharged Veterans
• Federal/state benefits resource assistance to Veterans
• Housing and social services resource assistance for homeless Veterans
• Suicide recognition and prevention efforts through our "Be the One" program

But like all non-profits, we do this on a modest budget!

We rely on donations and contributions from the community!

Consider a General Donation or Sponsorship to one of our programs

We have many opportunities to support various programs including:

• Website: Keep our website maintained: Annual sponsorship $199
• Legion Baseball: Sponsor a local high school team to participate in annual state and national tournaments: Annual sponsorship $100 - $200
• Boys/Girls State: Youth development program focused on developing civic leadership and pride in American citizenship. Annual sponsorship $100
• Building improvement projects: As with any aging building, we have a need for maintenance and upgrades in HVAC systems, lighting and electrical, main hall improvements, etc. Donations in any amount are welcome!

100% of donations acquired will be utilized to maintain our Post, provide assistance to Veterans and their families,

and to promote other worthy projects and programs. A donation letter for tax purposes will be sent to donors upon request.
