We are grateful to our sponsors who supported this year's American Legion Veterans Haven Run/Walk. Unfortunately, the 2020 Run had to be postponed twice due to the pandemic. However, the need for support amongst our Veterans certainly has not diminished. For that reason, your generous donations were recently gifted to Veterans Haven. Enclosed is a photo of the presentation of a check for $10,000 to Veterans Haven which represents your charitable giving.
Attending the presentation of the donation are (from left to right): George Hutchinson III, 5K run volunteer consultant, William Lobach, Assistant Superintendent of Veterans Haven South, John Brouse, Commander of Post 68, Joe McElroy, Finance Officer of Post 38, Robert MacMurray, Chaplain of the Camden County American Legion, Jon Batchelor, 5K Run Chairman, of Post 38, Ray Farreny, Vice Commander of Post 38, and Alisann “Sam” Romanelli, Adjutant of Post 38.
