Join us for the 2021 Celebration of Freedom September 24-25, 2021!

The 3rd Annual Celebration of Freedom will be held September 24-25, 2021 at Legion Headquarters, 2930 American Legion Drive, Portage, WI. In the first 2 years, this statewide community event has raised over $70,000 for Legion Wisconsin Programs. What can we do with $70,000? It could sponsor over 140 Veterans to Camp, help thousands of Veterans and their families meet their financial needs during hard times, annually send 54 Legion All-Stars to play at Miller Park or send over 200 Boys to Badger Boys State to name a few.

This is a STATE-WIDE LEGION FAMILY community event that will feature New York's 9/11 Never Forget Mobile Exhibit, live entertainment, food and drink, obstacle course and more.

Thursday, September 23, 2021
