Annual Aurora American Legion Golf Outing @ Tamarack Golf Club
Sep 21 @ 10:30 am – 6:30 pm

Thank you for your support of the 3rd Annual Roosevelt Aurora Golf Outing.  These past two years have been a lot of fun and your generosity has helped keep the Roosevelt Aurora Post 84 of the American Legion thriving. The funds raised from this golf outing is used to help active duty service members, Veterans and their families.  Post 84 has a scholarship program, works with the food pantries to help distribute food to our Veterans, participate in annual events that honor of Veterans and much more.

We have been so successful we recently outgrew our old office and have relocated into a bigger and more functional office at 1649 Montgomery Road, Suite 7 in Aurora.  We invite you to stop by.  However, we cannot continue without your help.  Please consider becoming a sponsor or buying a foursome to golf and help us to continue to provide assistance to the Aurora area Veterans.

On behalf of Roosevelt Aurora Post 84 of the American Legion, we welcome you to our 2023 Golf Classic at a new golf course location.

Since 1919, Post 84 has been an integral participant of the Fox Valley community.  We remain dedicated to our support and service to our local Veterans, families and community

Mike Eckburg, Commander Post 84
