Donations

In addition to the designated programs below, our Chapter also financially supports an annual JROTC summer encampment where a number of local cadets from various local JROTC programs come together for several weeks where they are exposed to leadership, discipline and traditional military values.

If you are so inclined, we welcome your support.  You may designate support for one or more of these programs or a general donation to the Chapter to be used where the need is greatest. Currently we have five beneficiaries, which are:
