Funding Request Letter 2021 - Poppy Trust Fund
To Whom it May Concern,
The aim of the Poppy Trust Fund is to help preserve the memory of those valiant Canadians and allies who gave their lives in war so that we may live in freedom and peace. Remembering Veterans is part of our mission, as is veteran support. No money donated to the Poppy Trust is used for Legion Operational purposes. The Donation disbursements from the Poppy Trust Fund for their 2019-2020 Campaign Year were approximately $1,500 for Direct Veterans Comforts and Assistance, $600 for the Annual Veteran’s/Remembrance Dinner, $1,750 to local Youth and Educational Programs, $6,000 amongst Veterans Hospital, Service Dogs, Local Cadets and Covid-19 PPE supplies, plus administrational costs (advertising Service Officer availability, and Storage). The Poppy Committee members are currently planning a restoration project of the historical monument in front of the branch, of which poppy funds will pay for 50% of the costs.
Thank you for considering donating to our Branch’s Poppy Trust Fund at the Royal Canadian Legion branch 124 in Niagara on the Lake as it allows the branch to continue to provide services to local veterans. Donations to the Poppy Trust Fund are accepted throughout the year. We understand this year has been difficult for everyone and thank you again for considering a donation to our worthy cause.
Thank you,
Poppy Committee
Legion Branch 124
