AMERICAN LEGION POST 63
Hugh T. Gregory Post 63 Winter Garden, Florida
The American Legion Post 63 in Winter Garden is once again partnering to raise money and community awareness of the 22 veteran and active duty suicides happening per day due to PTS. The Challenge 22 event is just one of the vehicles used to create awareness and raise money for this important cause.
