Dear Sponsor,

The Morningside VFW 3945 provides many activities and contributes to the success of other events for US military Veterans. For example, our Post will hold its 15th Annual Fish Rodeo for hospitalized Veterans on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. These Veterans enjoy a day of fishing in a well-stocked lake, sunshine, camaraderie, and a delicious barbeque. The participants are Veterans from the War on Terror, Vietnam, Korea, and World War Il who are suffering with PTSD and other physical and mental health disorders. Also, each Veteran receives a bag full of socks, coupon books, toiletries, and other items to make their life a bit easier in the hospital. Donations are critical to the success of the program which was enjoyed in previous years. The Veterans are excited to get out and get some fresh air. By more than 100 hospitalized Veterans from Heinz VA, University Drive VA, Southwestern Veterans Center, other local healthcare facilities, and homeless Veterans. We anticipate an increase in the number of Veterans participating this coming year due to the positive feedback. The facility staff reported to our members that the Veterans talk about the wonderful times they had at the Fish Rodeo and eagerly anticipate attending this annual event.

We look forward to continuing to partner with you. We appreciate your consideration and support of our local Fish Rodeo for our wounded Veterans. We are a 501(c) (19) non-profit organization with an EIN of 25094147. Please make checks payable to: Morningside VFW Post 3945 and mail to: 1820 Morningside Avenue, Pittsburgh PA 15206. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank you for your generosity and support of these worthwhile activities that provide joy and recognition to our deserving American Heroes.

Sincerely,

John Santoriello, VFW POST 3945
