In the month of May, 97.5 Y Country and Boss Services dedicate our efforts to showing our Veterans how much we appreciate them by touring to American Legions across Southwest Michigan! We’re keeping the tradition going of hearing stories of service from our American heros, but we are also taking it up a notch.
We will be handing out FREE t-shirts to YOU at each American Legion we’ll be broadcasting from in exchange for a donation (suggested $20).
100% of the donations received will be given directly to that Legion!
Presented by: Boss Services – Raising the Standard.
