HONOR THOSE WHO SERVED – SUPPORT OUR VETERANS AND SAVE THE DATE~ ❤️

Mark your calendars for **Saturday, April 17, 2027**, as we prepare for another unforgettable evening of Nashville's talented songwriters sharing the stories behind the songs we love — all in support of the **Elmhurst American Legion, Post 187, and our LOCAL veterans!**

🎶 **THE MUSIC MAY END, BUT OUR MISSION CONTINUES ALL YEAR LONG!**

Did you enjoy our 2026 Nashville Stories Behind the Songs Annual Military Benefit? As the year comes to a close, we invite you to consider making an additional **2026 year-end, tax-deductible donation** to support our local veterans and their families.

🇺🇸 **WHERE DOES YOUR GENEROSITY GO?**

Your contributions help support local veterans and their families through emergency assistance for food and housing, transportation to medical appointments, access to mental health resources, employment programs, hospital outreach, and military honors. Your generosity also helps provide scholarships for local York High School students.

🎟️ **DID YOU KNOW? WE'VE NEVER RAISED OUR TICKET PRICES!**

While the costs of bringing Nashville's incredible songwriters to Elmhurst — including artist expenses, travel, and hotels — continue to rise each year, we've remained committed to keeping our ticket prices unchanged.

It's the generosity of our community through **additional donations, sponsorships, and our auctions** that allows us to continue this special tradition while supporting those who have served.

❤️ **THERE'S STILL TIME TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN 2026!**

As we continue our **106th year of service**, we are sincerely grateful for your support. Every contribution, large or small, reminds our veterans and their families that they are never forgotten and that our community stands behind them.

Qualifying donations are tax-deductible.

🇺🇸🎶 **SAVE THE DATE! NASHVILLE STORIES BEHIND THE SONGS RETURNS APRIL 17, 2027!** 🎶🇺🇸

⭐ We'll be introducing our incredible 2027 Nashville songwriters right here on the Elmhurst American Legion's page!

🎟️ **Ticket presales will begin before the end of 2026!**

🇺🇸 **Thank you for honoring those who served, supporting those who still need us, and helping us keep this wonderful tradition alive!**

**Because it's more than an evening of incredible music. It's a community coming together to give back to those who have given so much.** ❤️🇺🇸

With heartfelt gratitude,
Elmhurst American Legion, Post 187 and the Committee
