Donations Welcome        

Please donate to help our veteran community.  Everyone can donate to our veteran causes!

Donors can honor a veteran with a flag (4 in by 6 in) with a donation of $10 or more, or with a large sign (2 ft by 1.5 ft) with a donation of $30 or more.

You can make your donation “in honor of”, or “in memory of”, the name of a veteran, and the veteran's name will then be put on the flag or sign. Flags will be placed together prominently at the event; the signs will be displayed, individually and prominently, along the course. You may pick them up after the event.
