HELP US CELEBRATE 105 YEARS! VFW Post 755 is celebrating a very special milestone this year — 105 years of serving our veterans, their families, and our community!
One thing we don’t always do well at our VFW Post is ask for money or donations.
We do our very best not to constantly have our hands out asking others to help fund our events and programs. We know there are so many organizations and causes out there asking for support, and we understand that everyone can only give so much.
But this year is a little different.
Our Annual Fundraiser and 105th Birthday Celebration is October 10th, and we would love to make this a birthday celebration that our Post, our families, and our community will always remember!
For 105 years, VFW Post 755 has been about more than just a building or an organization. It has been about family, friendship, veterans, community, food, fun, and coming together to support one another.
We could definitely use the help of our friends and family to help us make this event a success. If you know a business, organization, family, or individual who supports veterans, VFW Posts, or community events and may be willing to help sponsor or donate, we would be incredibly grateful if you would connect us with them.
And if you can’t make a donation, there is another very important way you can help:

Good Afternoon,
My name is David Rieger, and I serve as one of the Vetstock Volunteer Committee Members. I am reaching out to invite your organization to join us for our Second Annual Veteran Celebration, Vetstock 2026. The event will be held at The Salvation Army in Downtown Springfield, IL (1600 Clear Lake Ave.) on Saturday, November 7th, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We would be honored to have your team participate.
Your vendor table will be provided at no cost, as we are committed to showcasing meaningful local resources that support our Veteran community. I believe this event would also serve as a strong recruitment opportunity for your organization.
For event updates, please follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please feel free to contact me using the information below. We hope to see you at the event.
Best Regards,
