American Legion Posts 267, 35, & 333, in Columbus will sponsor the 23rd Annual Willie Pitts Reunion. The reunion is a social event sanctioned by the American Legion, Department of Georgia, to fundraise for the American Legion National Emergency Funds (NEF). Monies raised are donated to the NEF in the honor and memory of Willie Pitts, past Department of Georgia Commander and past National Chairperson of NEF. These donations assist Legionnaires and their families nationally in the event of natural disasters. Last year, this event donated over $8,000.00 to the NEF. In 2025, with your support, we hope to increase and anticipate raising even more.
