Allenton, WI – The Allenton Fohl-Martin American Legion Post 483 will be participating in the National Wreaths Across AmericaTM (WAA) on December 17, 2022, at 9 a.m. This week the local group received several strong donations.
Slinger High School presented a check for over $700 to the group. “The check will help the Legion buy wreaths for veterans. The money was donated by students and staff,” said teacher Jeff Wolf.
This is the fourth year the Allenton Post has participated in a fundraiser to honor our veterans that have passed. The Allenton Legion Post needs support to keep this proud tradition going.

Earlier in the week, Bob’s Main Street Auto & Towing presented a check to support Wreaths Across America.
With community support, a hand-crafted wreath made of all-American balsam will be placed on the headstones of our local veterans. Wreaths Across AmericaTM (WAA) is a national nonprofit organization founded in 2007.
This year the Allenton American Legion would like to have wreaths at every cemetery in the Slinger and Allenton area for a total of 18 cemeteries. Our goal this year is to purchase and honor 800 fallen veterans in our local community.
