Please Support The legacy Scholarship Fund SweepstakesThe American Legion Riders As-
sociation of Wisconsin is holding their annual sweepstakes to benefit the American Legion Legacy Schol-arship Fund. The Fund provides col-lege scholarships for children who have had a parent killed in the war on terror since September 11, 2001. Thousands of families with children have lost a parent since September 2001. This has resulted in thousands of children 18 years and younger who are now in a single parent family.
Conservative estimates are that costs will increase 5% per year. That means that in 16 years the most af-fordable college education will be $94,332!
The mission of this scholarship is to ensure that higher education will be a reality for these families!
Last year Wisconsin raised over $59,000 which was included in the
more than $1,000,000 total collected. This year we will be working in con-junction with Commander Dale Oat-man’s Run for Pride with a goal of $59,600, $1.00 for each member of the Wisconsin American Legion.
This April, 12 sweepstakes entry forms will be sent to all Legion Posts, Auxiliary Units, and SAL Detach-ments across the state. A donation of $5 each, 6 entry forms for $20 or all 12 entry forms for $25 is encouraged. A reply envelope will be provided for your convenience. We encourage ev-ery Post, Unit and Squadron to return your forms with a donation to help support the Legacy Scholarship Fund.
The awards are 1st–$1,000, 2nd–$500, 3rd–$250, 4th–$100, 5th through 7th–$50 each. The drawing will be held on Sunday, August 14th, 12:00 Noon at Post No. 59 in Stough-ton, 803 N. Page Street.
If you would like to help Command-er Dale and the American Legion Riders help the children of America’s fallen service members by distribut-ing additional entry forms to your friends, family, co-workers or fellow Legion Family members please con-tact Bob Lloyd at (608) 873-5926 or [email protected].
In 2016, our goal is to raise over $450,000 nationwide. We are ask-ing the Wisconsin American Legion Family to rally together and support this most worthy cause.
Please make your check pay-able to ALRA of WI and mail to: C/O Bob Lloyd, P.O. Box 16, Stoughton, WI 53589.
