Piedmont Chapter 2026 Fundraiser for Women Veterans

Piedmont Chapter 2026 Fundraiser for Women Veterans

For each of the last five years the Piedmont Chapter has held a fundraising effort to support Women Veterans who live in the Metro Atlanta area. Now is the time to help the Piedmont Chapter continue with this powerful gift for those who have served our nation. Your generous donation in the past and now, will help provide support to these Veterans when they need it the most, without red tape, without bureaucracy, to fill in the gap while waiting for the resources of the VA to kick in.

Why Women Veterans? We support all veterans, but have chosen women veterans as a special focus because they are an underserved part of the veteran community and their needs can be different. In many cases, helping a woman veteran also means helping her children.

The Piedmont Chapter has developed a five-year relationship with the Atlanta VA women's veterans program. We know where the money is going, we receive feedback on how it is used, and 100% of what we raise for this program goes to support these women. One example of that feedback:

“I was at my wits end. I did not know how I would keep the lights on for me and my kids. My VA social worker helped me access immediate help. Please tell the SAR thank you! I did not know how I would have found a way through this terrible situation. They offered help and hope during a “literally dark time”.

So this isn't about choosing women veterans instead of other veterans. It's about identifying a veteran population where our SAR chapter can make a focused, accountable, and meaningful difference.

Atlanta is especially important. According to the leadership of the Atlanta VA Women Veterans Program, the Atlanta VA serves the largest population of women veterans of any major metropolitan VA program in the country. That makes the need particularly relevant to our own community.

The 1776 Campaign

Help Support the Sons of the American Revolution

The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR) is never tiring in its efforts to advance American heritage and the patriotic values our forefathers cherished so dearly. The NSSAR is currently in the midst of constructing a new Visionary Outreach Education Center, Museum Exhibits and National Headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, which will bring an even greater dimension to those efforts.

To fund this endeavor, the 1776 Campaign was created to accept donations from those who share our ideals of promoting Americanism. Each contributor to the 1776 Campaign receives a gift that is relative to the amount donated (please refer to the Donation Form link).

To show its support of our National Society, the Board of Managers of the Piedmont Chapter has pledged a $1,776 donation to the 1776 Campaign, which will be paid over the next five years.

I encourage each SAR member, and anybody else who wishes to support the advancement of American heritage to make a generous contribution to the 1776 Campaign. Your generosity will help us continue in the spirit of those patriots who gave everything to assure our freedoms.
