April 25: Newhall American Legion Hosts SGT Ian Gelig Scholarship Fundraiser

Ian GeligNewhall American Legion Post 507 will host the annual Sergeant Ian T.D. Gelig Memorial Scholarship fundraiser on Thursday, April 25. The night will open with a cocktail hour at 5:30pm followed by dinner and program at 6:30. We are excited to announce that Los Angeles VA Regional Director, Dennis Kuewa, will be our keynote speaker. The focus of his discussion will be on the many VA funded programs designed to assist businesses with recruitment, hiring and retaining Veterans as employees.


The American Legion is chartered by Congress to serve Veterans and we do so under our Four Pillars; Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism and Children Youth. In Santa Clarita, we do this through our devotion to community service and mutual helpfulness. We are proud to partner with the SCV Chamber of Commerce in this effort to offer local Veterans with a $2000 scholarship. We would be honored to have you to join us in this effort.


logo-americanlegionTable sponsorships, seats of 8, are $300 and seats cost $20 each. We are also looking for donations of any dollar amount to the Sergeant Ian Gelig Scholarship. 100 percent of sponsorships, seat purchases and donations will go directly towards assisting an SCV Military Veteran attending college courses.
