Association
Message Continued:
The Association purchased and distributed over 1000+ 100 th NYG Anniversary
Mugs, during those celebration events a few years ago. We provide
funds for medals and awards, on an ongoing basis. The band recently
requested a Bass Drum, which we provided. This was an expensive piece
of equipment, but crucial for purposes of supporting our Band’s recognition, as they are the NYG’s
traveling ambassadors. We provide significant funds on an ongoing basis, to support the annual Military
Ball at West Point. We have also supported many social events, taking place during training or
ceremonial events, especially where food and serving support was required. This is just a sample of
the types of support the Association has provided the NYG over the past several years.
We are constantly asking our soldiers what they want us to provide. Whether it be personal items like
clothing and morale items, or actual uniform items. We do the best we can with these purchases, as we
must provide funds to initially purchase these supplies, then wait to recoup our funds and profits over
time, as items are slowly sold. All “profits” are returned to the NYG, by providing the types of support
we are describing in this letter.
Future Plans
We are going to gift custom Challenge Coins to all SAD and support soldiers who were involved in
Operation COVID-19, who so diligently and sacrificially provided their time and talents, to support the
NYS COVID-19 mission during 2020. Extra coins will be available for sale to our soldiers and supporters.
We will continue to conduct fund raising activities, using our Facebook page, and our Website,
through the re-sale of purchased items, using the ongoing support of our Lifetime Members and
through donations from our soldiers and general public.
