====PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE=== submitted by Rusty Myers, Adjutant, Children and Youth Chairman, Detachment of NJ (27 APRIL 2025) – BELLEVILLE, NJ – “The National Executive Committee voted in 2022 to create American Legion Family Day on the last Saturday of April… a day when we are supposed to open the doors of our Post to let the community know all of the good things we do,” spoke Rusty Myers when addressing the event’s attendees. “We can think of no better way to show what we do then by holding a fundraiser to benefit COTA.” Myers, adjutant for Sons of The American Legion (SAL) Squadron 105 in Belleville, was speaking at a picnic that the Post 105 Family held on 27 April to benefit the Children’s Organ Transplant Association, or COTA. This is the second year Belleville’s American Legion Family - veterans, Sons, and Auxiliary members - have held this picnic, though their support for COTA has been something membership has been passionate about for a while. Most recently, in November, the SAL organized a comedy show for COTA. Supporting COTA is a component of the “The Four Pillars” of The American Legion’s national priorities … working to better the lives of our children and youth. COTA helps remove the financial barriers to a life-saving transplant by providing fundraising assistance and family support. The day was windy and cold, even though the New Jersey weather had been in the 70’s the week before. Perhaps 80 people came out to the picnic - many of them members of “the Legion” from around the state - to have a fun time with good food and great friends. Between tickets, a 50/50, and basket raffles, the event raised almost $2,000 for kids with transplant expenses.
