American Legion To Host Bags Tourney Fundraiser For Warriors Walk

Warriors Walk is an annual event in New Lenox that works to raise awareness and funding to prevent suicides by military members and Veterans. The "ruck march" is an event that brings military vets together with family and supporters to call awareness to the average of 22 Veteran suicides each day. The event also raises money to provide counselling and therapy sessions to those who may be in crisis or in need of preventive coping therapy.

You do not need to register in advance registrations and bracket selection will be on site.
