Our Charitable Mission
Raised and donated to veteran and law enforcement causes since 2006
Haley House Fund
Supporting Families of Wounded Warriors
The Westside Chapter takes great pride in putting a lot of our energy towards supporting the Haley House. The Haley House Fund is in place today and provides rooms at a local, nationally known and respected motel chain at reduced rates. This support is available to those that cannot afford to pay for lodging and other costs themselves. The Haley House Fund provides living arrangements for families to spend needed time with the recovering current duty injured and veterans.
James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa is one of only four VA Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers in the nation. When families traveled from across the country with nowhere to stay, some sleeping in their cars, the Haley House Fund stepped in. Since 2004, they've helped over 1,500 families with nearly $1.5 million in support.
