American Legion Family leaders join forces to call on all members to participate in the initiative to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday.
The leaders of the American Legion Family joined together for this new PSA video to promote the USA 250 Challenge in time for American Legion Birthday.
In the PSA, American Legion National Commander Dan Wiley leads a phone call where he catches up with SAL Commander Bill Clancy, Auxiliary President Pam Ray and Riders Chairman David Heredia. They share how they are fulfilling their commitments to achieving one or more of the three categories in the challenge.
“I am calling on all American Legion Family members to participate in the challenge,” Wiley said in the PSA. “They can pursue the challenge categories. They can help fundraise. They can donate to support our disabled veterans and military families. We are counting on ALL members of the American Legion Family!”
American Legion Family members are encouraged to share the PSA on social media, via post it in newsletters and distribute it in other ways to engage members.
There is still time to sign up for the American Legion USA 250 Challenge, which concludes July 4. Participants not only improve their own mental wellness and/or physical health, but they also support the Veterans & Children Foundation and their department.
Donations to the USA 250 Challenge go toward the Veterans & Children Foundation, which benefits disabled veterans and military families in need. Participants can also receive special commemorative items by hitting various fundraising tiers. They are:
• Participants who raise at least $250, receive a USA 250 Challenge hat pin.
• Participants who raise at least $500, receive a USA 250 Challenge coin and a personalized certificate of appreciation.
• Participants who raise at least $2,500, receive a personalized plaque signed by National Commander Dan Wiley.
