AZ Post 96 donates $1,150 to Luke AFB families

Surprise, AZ

Joseph Q. Johnson Post 96 held a successful fundraising project over Veterans Day weekend at Sam’s Club and Fry’s Grocery store at Cotton & Greenway in Surprise, Ariz. The members voted to donate twenty $50 Fry’s gift cards to the Luke Airman Readiness Center as the post has done before. This $1,000 donation is the largest the post has done, thanks to the hard work of Post Fundraising Chair Kelly Donlevy. In addition, three $50 Fry’s gift cards were donated in loving memory of April Kohl, wife of Post Sr. Vice Commander Arnold Kohl. April passed suddenly on Nov. 3.
This is The American Legion in action supporting veterans in our community.
