Veterans Fest 2016 - Post 1941

With so many non-profit organizations and charitable causes, why should the American Legion be on your list of priorities? First of all, you must understand what exactly the American Legion does in order to feel compelled to give. The American Legion was founded by Congress in 1919 to help and equip veterans and their families who need a leg up in a variety of different ways. Known within the legion as "mutual helpfulness", this patriotic organization is a not-for-profit community service group, and makes a difference in the lives of approximately 3 million Legion members across the country.

The Robert E. Coulter, Jr. Post 1941 of The American Legion in LaGrange IL., is hosting its largest annual fundraising campaign, The Fall Fest.

This fund raiser supports various Post charitable activities throughout each year. The funds generated are to be spent to support less fortunate veterans of the Veterans Hospitals in the Chicago area as well as many youth organizations in our local communities, such as, Scouting Babe Ruth League, school awards, scholarships, and school bands. A small portion of the funds are used to upkeep the Post Home.

Please help us reach our goal of $5,000 this year. Thank you for your consideration and generosity.
