Dear Business Owner:

The Lt. John W. Finn Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2080 and its Auxiliary are co-hosting a fundraising event on October 5, 2024. This event will consist of a lunch with games and tournaments throughout the day. This event provides an opportunity for our veterans and their families, our Mountain Empire community members and guests from all over San Diego County to come together and enjoy entertainment and comradery at our post. It will be the largest fundraising event that we host throughout the year to help raise monies for our programs. The Post and Auxiliary are requesting any donation that you may be able to provide for our event which includes a silent auction and raffle. Gift cards, certificates and donations to help cover the cost of the food and entertainment are also welcome.

Proceeds from this fundraiser go to help the VFW National Home, scholarships for local youth, and other programs such as VA Hospital, Emergency/Assistance/Disaster, Patriotic Art, Voice of Democracy, Patriot’s Pen, and Veterans Games. These funds are also used to host two other events for our Youth Activities program: our Annual Easter Egg Hunt/Bicycle Rodeo and the Annual Children’s Christmas party. These events help bring our community together and also aids in our cause to support veterans and their families through our organizations’ programs.

If you would like to send promotional material, such as banners or flyers, we will display and distribute them at our event. Thank you in advance for your consideration and/or contribution to our fundraiser. Please mail your donation to [ PO Box 361, Campo, CA 91906 ] or if you would prefer your donation be picked up, we will make arrangements with you and send a representative from our VFW Post or Auxiliary.

 

Respectfully,

Charlotte Lockhart

President
