We are sorry to announce the cancellation of the annual National Memorial Day Parade.

As you can imagine the cancellation of the parade will create a huge financial burden and ultimately cost nearly $450,000 in lost revenue.

And as a non-profit we depend on those funds to support all our programs year-round.

I hope if you are able, you will consider supporting the American Veterans Center with a generous tax-deductible gift as we continue to navigate this uncharted territory.

Please note that thanks to the CARES Act recently signed into law you now have an additional tax benefit for up to the first $300 you contribute if you take the standard deduction that was not afforded to you prior to the CARES Act.

Remember to keep proper documentation to substantiate the deduction on your 2020 taxes!

The mission of the American Veterans Center is to guard the legacies and honor the sacrifices of all American veterans. Through oral history preservation, documentary films, educational programs and civic events, the AVC works to ensure that Americans fully appreciate – and never forget – the sacrifices made by those who have worn the uniform.

The American Veterans Center is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, funded solely by generous donations from people like you. All donations are tax deductible.
