Help Support Community Programs!
It's Truly a Win-Win Activity !!!
Many Legion, Auxiliary, and Sons of the American Legion members volunteer a great deal of their time to make Tri-City Community programs possible. In addition, many volunteers throughout the community who are not Legion members also donate their time and energy to keep these programs going. But, in addition to the time of volunteers, Tri-City needs money to pay certain expenses that go hand-in hand with these programs. (For example, in the case of the Youth Baseball teams and the Color Guard, money is needed for uniforms and tournament/competitive fees.). So, under the State charitable gambling statutes, Tri-City offers Pull-Tab games in its Lounge area as a means to raise money for many of its programs. Raffles are also held at the Legion.
Pull Tab Sales:
Pull tabs are available for sale in the Lounge
during the following hours:
Day(s) Hours Monday - Thursday. 11:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday 11: 00 a.m. - 12:00 midnight Sunday 12 Noon - 9:00 p.m. Currently, many different games in various
denominations are available daily.
Meat Raffles:
Meat raffles are held every Friday at 6:00 p.m.,as well as Saturdays at 2:00 p.m., in the Tri-City Lounge from Sept. to May. Different organizations work the raffles on a rotating basis each week, and each group receives the proceeds from the raffle. Currently, these groups include the following:
Tri-City Auxiliary Sons of the American Legion Tri-City Color Guard Tri-City Baseball Area Youth Basketball Irondale Band

Your Community Thanks You!
In addition to raising money for community programs, the Tri-City American Legion makes donations from its own Treasury to help support various community programs. Some of the programs to which Tri-City has contributed include the following:
Tri-City provides a scholorship (one for each gender) to the student body at each of the following High Schools: Columbia Heights, Irondale, Mounds View, St. Anthony Village
Donations to many organizations -- such as to community aide and food shelves, and to various school/civic organizations within the community -- have been made.
Tri-City helps to support the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts through various donations.
Tri-City contributes to and/or operates various programs aimed at helping United States veterans.
Funding for the Baseball Program is added by Tri-City Legion -- to help pay for expenses that exceed what is taken in through fundraising.
Tri-City supports the Legionville School Patrol program, as well as the American Legion's Boys & Girls State program. (For more information on these programs, visit the Legionville School Safety Patrol Training Center page and the State Program page of the Minnesota American Legion's web site.)
As shown, Tri-City provides support for numerous community programs and events -- as many as possible. While Tri-City would like to support every community program that is in need of assistance, it is not financially possible. Special requests, however, are reviewed by Tri-City's Donation Committee on a regular basis, and decisions are made, based upon the availability of funding and the Legion's priorities and criteria. Requests for donations from Tri-City must, therefore, be submitted in writing and must detail all specifics on the program/event that is seeking the donation. Any questions in this regard, they can be directed to the Legion office at (651) 631-1124 or to info@tricitylegion.org.
If you have questions or need additional information about any Tri-City Legion programs or services, e-mail Tri-City Legion at info@tricitylegion.org.
(Please note that, if you are submitting your e-mail in the evening or on the weekend, your e-mail might not be read until the next business day.)For info or questions on Tri-City Baseball programs, e-mail baseball@tricitylegion.org.
