St James Military Appreciation Day (SJMAD) Fund Raising Underway

JAMES MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY FUNDRAISING NOW UNDERWAY

On Saturday, July 8th, St. James will celebrate its 17th annual St. James Military Appreciation Day (SJMAD) Golf Tournament to recognize the service and sacrifice of our Nation’s military service members – past and present.  The celebration will also include the Patriotic Concert in The Park on Saturday June 10th, from 5:00 until 8:00 pm.  American Legion Post 543 is privileged to host both of these patriotic events.

Proceeds from the SJMAD golf tournament and concert help American Legion Post 543, a non-profit Veteran service organization, to continue helping veterans in the local community, active-duty members, and local youth initiatives through 70 different programs across southeast Brunswick County.

The support from our St James neighbors is needed to make SJMAD a success. Now more than ever, we are asking for your strong support. Neighborhood Captains (NC’s) are leading fundraising efforts in the neighborhoods and their location is identified by a SJMAD “DONATE HERE” sign.  Please drop off your donations in the Drop Box on your NC’s front porch or one of the following Area Collection Points:  3795 Bancroft Place, 2988 Sorrento Place, 2808 Barberry Court, and 3867 Members Club Blvd.

Every neighborhood that raises at least $200 in donations will have a sign with the neighborhood’s name placed on a tee box. Multiple sign equivalents will be recognized with stars of distinction for every $200 in donations. Last year, again, neighborhood donations were the largest source of income for this critical Fundraising event for Post 543.

Can we count on your support to help sponsor a neighborhood “Tee Sign” during the SJMAD Golf Tournament?  Donations can be cash or check (made out to SJMAD); and will be collected thru June 30.  If you have any questions please contact Rod Johnson, Neighborhood Solicitations Lead, via email by clicking here.
