The Lassen High Cheerleaders and Susanville’s Veterans of Foreign Wars William Davidson Post 2381 have formed a strong partnership, with cheer team members helping out at the Saturday morning VFW breakfasts and the VFW contributing financially to help the team with its travel and competition expenses.
On August 3rd, Ron Wood, Commander of Post 2381, handed the team a big check for $250, just one of many contributions that Wood and the VFW make to local organizations throughout the year.
“I would just like to thank Ron and everyone from the VFW, for their donation, kindness and support,” says LHS Cheer Coach Lelah Kampfraat.
“The Cheerleaders look forward to volunteering every month and we hope to see everyone at the VFW breakfast the first Saturday of every month at the Veterans Hall.”
The breakfast is open to the public and held downstairs at the Memorial Building from 7:00 until 10:00a.m.
Over the last ten years Susanville’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #2381 has regularly made monetary contributions to local charitable organizations, putting tens-of-thousands of dollars right back into the community through a wide range of causes including large donations to Sober Graduation, Susanville Little League, Northern California Cancer Advocates, Susanville Police Officer’s Association’s Holiday with a Hero and more. The list is both extensive and impressive.
The VFW has also hosted fundraisers for other organizations, helped pay for scholarship programs, Eagle Scout projects and a relief fund for local veterans.
