American Legion Post504

JUNE 13th, 2020

 

CANCELLED because of the COVID-19 Pandemic - Will try again next year.

Description

A Salute to Service 5k is an event hosted by American Legion Batavia Post 504. It will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2020 just before Flag Day. This is a great way to honor the service of someone from your family. It will consist of a “fun run” a shorter military cadence style run that will start at 8am followed by a chip timed 5k Run/Walk at 8:30am.

Help us to celebrate 100 Years of The American Legion. Veterans helping veterans and the community. Money raised will be used to support our post members and yearly activities. You have most likely seen us out in the community distributing poppies during Poppy Day near Memorial Day and Veterans Day, at a flag raising, preforming Military Rites at a funeral, placing flags at the graves of veterans, delivering gift bags at Christmas for our elderly veterans in the retirement communities around town, or presenting a scholarship to one of our deserving high school graduates. None of which we can do without your support.
