Request CWF piggy banks now for pickup at national convention

American Legion Family members attending the 104th National Convention of The American Legion in Charlotte, N.C., can now pre-order their box of Child Welfare Foundation (CWF) piggy banks for in-person pickup. Pre-orders can be picked up at the CWF Booth No. 104/106 in the exhibit hall at the Charlotte Convention Center. See exhibit hall hours.

Cost of the CWF piggy banks (64 in a case) plus shipping to national convention for pickup is a suggested donation of $80. For piggy bank requests to be shipped elsewhere, it’s a suggested donation of $100. Donations go directly to the Child Welfare Foundation.

Request your CWF piggy banks by sending an email to cwfadministrator@legion.org.  In the email, please specify if you will be picking up at national convention (your name will be placed on the number of boxes you request) or if you need them shipped elsewhere.

Besides piggy banks, other CWF-branded merchandise will be available at the CWF booth in Charlotte for purchase – shirts, hats, aprons, pins, phone chargers and challenge coins.

The CWF piggy banks can be placed around the local post for members of The American Legion, Sons of The American Legion, Auxiliary and Legion Riders to drop their spare change. The pigs also can be set out during Legion Family meetings and at fundraisers for the collection of spare change.

Once the pig(s) are filled, post leadership will count the change and submit a check for the collected amount to the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation, American Legion Donation Processing, PO Box 1954, Indianapolis, IN 46206.
