Piggy banks can be picked up at national convention in New Orleans or shipped.

Going to the 105th National Convention in New Orleans? American Legion Family members can pre-order Child Welfare Foundation (CWF) piggy banks for pickup at national convention. Pre-orders can be picked up at the CWF booth in the exhibit hall at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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. Convention order deadline is Aug. 15.

Other CWF-branded merchandise will be available at the CWF booth in New Orleans for purchase – shirts, hats, aprons, pins, phone chargers and challenge coins.

CWF piggy banks can be placed in 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 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.

The American Legion Child Welfare Foundation provides grants to nonprofits for projects that contribute to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual welfare of children. Grants are only given to entities that help U.S. children in a large geographic area; they are not awarded for day-to-day or special operating expenses. Learn more at www.cwf-inc.org.
