Throughout the year members of our post support our fellow veterans, youth and youth programs and our community. This past May we held our 6th annual Veterans Memorial Day Golf Tournament at the Belmont Country Club. The American Legion partnered with the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post 3225, AmVets Post 2011and the Clovis Veterans Memorial District to raise $35,000 with $25,000 going to support various Voluntary Service Programs at the VA. Below is a list of some of the programs and services supported by these donations:
· Recreational Mental Health Programs
· Veteran Transportation
· Caregiver Support
· Walk of Honor
· Veteran Outreach Services
· Chaplain Services
· Homeless Veterans
· Wheelchair Games
· Creative Arts Festival (Mental Health)
· Winter Sports Clinic
· Golden Age Games
· Christmas Activities
· Women’s Veteran Programs
The remaining $10,000 is being donated to various Veterans Support Organizations benefiting Central Valley Veterans. We have donated these funds to the following Veteran Support Organizations:
· $1,000 to Assoc. of the United States Army
· $1,000 to Heart of the Horse Foundation

This year the Military Order of the Purple Heart will be joining us as a partner. These donations would not be possible without your generous support to our local Veterans and we look forward to having you as one of our Sponsors. Please note that 100% of all proceeds go to benefit our local Veterans.
