Chili for Charity

We are the Osseo/Maple Grove Post 172 American Legion Riders (ALR).

We are hosting a Chili for Charity event at our Post on 10/29/2022 with 100% proceeds going to Magnus Veteran's Foundation. We invite the Twin Cities community to join us for an afternoon of chili tasting, live music, and a chance at winning auction prizes to raise funds in support of this worthy veteran cause.

We are honored to host this gathering, as Magnus assists with the transition of military life to civilian life in areas where the VA may fall short. Our Chapter Members have toured the facility in Dayton, MN, met the President Shawn Alderman and his wife Diane several times, listened to countless Member testimonials, and vetted Magnus books and records for transparency. Magus currently supports services for 100 Minnesota veterans and their families, with an expansion goal of supporting 5,000 within the next 3 years. Its membership and services are available at no cost to veterans and their families, and we truly believe in the power of next level healing that can happen there. We hope to raise over $10,000 in support of Magnus’ expansion goal and present the proceeds to the Foundation in November.

This GoFundMe page was created to accept donations to the Chili for Charity event. These donated funds will contribute to our $10,000 goal, and we would be humbled by any offered amount. We believe no gift of thoughtfulness is too small, as the Legion family and the Magnus Veteran’s Foundation are grateful for your patronage, your patriotism, and wiliness to support the veterans living in your community.

Thank you for your consideration,

Joel Kiefer, American Legion Riders (ALR) Director
