“If it is important to you, you will find a Way. If not, you will find an Excuse.”

Inspirational Quotes, Gazette.com

Instilling a sense of patriotism in our youth by sharing our experiences and lessons is one of the most important duties we have as a nation and organization. Though certain principles are taught in school, it is paramount that we remain stalwart supporters of our nation and ensure our youth the opportunity to pursue higher education. In our world, education is expensive, so many require and greatly appreciate any sort of financial assistance they can get. We aim to provide that assistance and to facilitate youth upbringing through education, scholarship, and outreach. Let’s press on and provide our youth opportunity; let’s fulfill our promise of “Honor, Courage, and Commitment For Our Veterans”.

STATEWIDE PROJECT

FUND THE ARTISTS OF TOMORROW

Help increase the Young American Creative Patriotic Art awards! Send a donation of any amount to add to the Patriotic Art Escrow Fund. Please consider dedicating one of your Auxiliary fundraisers (new or established) proceeds to this fund. Promote the activity as a designated event to donate to the escrow fund. Participation is key to the success of this program…the bigger the scholarship award, the more likely students are to enter the contest. Thus, meeting our goal of growing the program, as expressed by our National Ambassador, by way of more entries. Also, keep in mind the promotion of the Continuing  Education Scholarship! Be sure to make use of all available resources to help you to accomplish your promotion and fundraising goals. Get the word out using Facebook, Instagram, and local print media. In recognition of all your efforts, aside from knowing that you’ve furthered the goals and objectives of the organization by adding to the quality of life for the youth, there is the acknowledgment of performance of duty. Please see your National Program for National Awards given. Make a plan and work your plan!
