How it works . . .

Why is your gift so important ? . . .
The American Legion California Boys' State is a self-supporting week long program. The expenses for operating each program are recovered by the sponsorship fees paid by each American Legion Post or cosponsoring private organization. The cost for food, housing and operations continue to escalate each year, and the need for funds to meet demands become more important. In order to ensure continued funding for the California Boys' State program, the Foundation was established.

Why Give ? . . .
1. Your Gift is Perpetual — Because only the income is distributed each year, unless otherwise directed by the donor. 2. Simplicity — One gift to The American Legion California Boys' State Foundation may benefit any number of young students in the responsibilities of citizenship.. 3. Assured Effectiveness — The prudent judgment of the Board of Directors will assure the donor that the gift will be used effectively. |
