Sons of American Legion, Post 291 - Newport Beach

The Sons of the American Legion was created in 1932 as an organization within The American Legion. The Sons have always been an instrumental part of the American Legion Family and through their strong support and acts of volunteerism have greatly assisted with Legion Family with their various programs.

We are a team focused on and proud to be serving those who have served in our military. We conduct fundraising events throughout the year to raise funds for those veterans and their families who need assistance. A large portion of our funds goes towards the Child Welfare Foundation (CWF), helping children of our veterans and the Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation (CALVAR or VA&R), working together with our Service Officers and the programs which directly assist, outreach and support our veterans and their families with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) claims and benefits, health care, memorial affairs and women veterans programs to ensure that they receive the highest quality of care from VA for their injuries and illnesses incurred from their military service; .

The Newport Beach Squadron 291 is the largest in the U.S. with just over 1,500 members.
