Memorial Day Poppy Fundraiser 2025

Every year, Poppy Day reminds us of the sacrifices made by our nation's veterans. The red poppy is a symbol of remembrance and gratitude—but for many of our American Legion members, especially those who are disabled or up in years, going out to collect donations in person is simply not possible. That’s why we need YOUR help. By donating, you ensure we can continue to support veterans, military families, and those who are serving or served our country. Every contribution makes a difference in honoring their legacy and providing assistance to those in need. Our post contributes to the O'Hare Airport USO, Veterans Home at Chicago, Hines Veterans Hospital Bingo Days, Local School Award programs, just to name a few of the places where these donations help! Join us in keeping this tradition alive. Donate today and wear your poppy with pride, knowing that you're making a real impact. Thank you for your support!
