Post 10692 Relay for Life

Post 10692 Grafenwoehr

The weekend of August 13-14, Tower Post 10692 held a Buddy Poppy Drive at the Grafenwoehr PX, Commissary and Shoppette. With assistance from our Scouts and Cub Scouts, our Comrades were able to replenish our coffers so we can continue to do good things in our community. In addition, we were able to sign up two new Life Members and get the word out that the Veterans of Foreign Wars is still here to serve!

The American Cancer Society Relay for Life has been an annual event for the VFW here in Europe for ten years! This year, Tower Post 10692 once again stepped up to be its sponsor. And along with its organizer, Ms Eilene Campsey, we have raised over $35,000 for the American Cancer Society. The event was held on 27 August 2022, and it was themed “Its Better in Bavaria”. We had teams from the “Hope Seekers International Team” to our own “VFW & Supporters Team”, the USAG Bavaria MPD, NCOA, BOSS and others rounded out the teams this year to 14! And let it be known – the VFW & Supporters Team were this year’s Lap Champions!
