Sponsorship Opportunities
The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. Support for American Legion Post 182 is support for those they serve - veterans, children, and the community at large.
Miami Veterans Day Centennial Salute [ previously Coconut Grove Veterans Day Parade and Celebration] Sponsorship
The Miami Veterans Day Centennial Salute [previously Coconut Grove Veterans Day Parade and Celebration] not only celebrates our local heroes - our nation's veterans - but also provides veterans with an opportunity to learn about the many benefits they've earned, provides meals to those in need in the community, provides a family-friendly event to the neighborhood of Coconut Grove, and gives youth from all over the city an opportunity to present their hard work as musicians and performers.

Sponsorship of Band Transportation
Many schools operate on tight budgets. By providing support for band transportation you help the Legion make it possible for more youth to get involved. Transportation for a single band ranges from $200 to $800.
Sponsorship of Food and Beverage
For years the Legion cooked for parade participants and provided food for everyone who came out to join them as well as anyone who came to them in need of a meal. With the growth of the parade, cooking for everyone is no longer feasible. However, providing meals to the community is still a priority for the Legion.
Sponsorship of Policing and Safety
Policing is a required, necessary, and welcomed aspect of any large event. The presence of officers helps keep traffic moving and our roads safe for drivers and paraders.
Donate to American Legion Post 182
While the Parade and Celebration is the Post's most costly event, the American Legion helps provide support to the community all year long. Whether it's a dollar or a canned good, the American Legion will see that it gets to someone who needs it.
