American Legion Post 43 donates to local school marching bands

American Legion Post 43 Naperville, demonstrating its continued commitment to supporting local youth, has donated $500 to each of the marching bands at the six Naperville-area high schools: Naperville North, Naperville Central, Neuqua Valley, Metea Valley, Waubonsie Valley, and Benet Academy.

These contributions reflect American Legion Post 43 Naperville’s dedication to enriching the lives of local youth through education, the arts, and community engagement.

Marching bands foster discipline, teamwork, and school pride — values that align closely with the mission of the American Legion.

Supporting our local youth is one of the pillars of the American Legion. High school bands bring energy and unity to their schools and communities, and American Legion Post 43 is happy to help them thrive.

This initiative complements American Legion Post 43 Naperville’s recent launch of six scholarships for student veterans attending North Central College, Benedictine University, and College of DuPage — reinforcing the American Legion Post 43 Naperville’s dual commitment to supporting veterans and our youth.
