ALR Director: Legacy Run now will raise funds for assisting Minnesota veterans
Please note, National HQ is no longer accepting donations to the Legacy Scholarship Fund. I know that many of you have it in your budget to donate to the Fund 84 (the Legacy Scholarship fund). If we receive a check made out to Fund 84, the donation will be applied to the new National American Legion Riders Mission — American Legion Veterans and Children Fund.

What does Fund 85 do?
Your charity makes a difference. Here, the Legionnaire provides our readers with Fund 85 money disbursed Jan.-July. The funds don’t go to the veteran, but, rather, to the need, such as a landlord or utility.
