The 28th Infantry Division Association is dedicated to uplifting our soldiers and preserving the rich heritage of the "Iron Division." Our organization is committed to supporting educational opportunities, honoring memorials, and preserving the historical records that define the legacy of the 28th Infantry Division.
One of our key initiatives is the 28th Infantry Division Association Scholarship Fund. We understand the importance of education in shaping the future of our soldiers. Through this fund, we bridge the gap and provide additional educational opportunities by assisting soldiers in covering expenses such as books, room and board, lab fees, and more. Each year, we proudly award four $500 scholarships on behalf of the Association through the esteemed Pennsylvania National Guard Scholarship Awards Program. Your contributions directly empower our soldiers and enable them to pursue their educational dreams.
We also lend our support to the memorials that honor the 28th Infantry Division. The Memorial Fund, a special purpose fund designated for approved monument projects, allows us to play a vital role in their maintenance, restoration, purchase, and repairs. These monuments serve as tangible reminders of the bravery and sacrifices of the division and its regiments. By contributing to the Memorial Fund, you become an integral part of preserving the legacy and ensuring that future generations can pay homage to the remarkable individuals who have served.
As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, the 28th Infantry Division Association operates with utmost integrity and transparency. We take pride in being an all-volunteer organization, ensuring that 100% of the funds donated and profits from memorabilia sold go directly to the fund association projects.
Your support truly makes a difference and has a meaningful impact on the lives of our soldiers and the preservation of our history. Each year, we come together in a solemn memorial service at the 28th Infantry Division Shrine in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania. This annual event serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the "Iron Division" from World War I to the present. We pay tribute to their unwavering dedication and express our gratitude for their service. Join us in honoring their legacy and let us stand united in remembrance.
The 28th Infantry Division Association also acts as a guardian of history, diligently collecting and preserving historical records, veteran interviews, and documents that reflect the remarkable heritage of the 28th Infantry Division. By maintaining a close and cooperative alliance with the division, we ensure that the stories and experiences of our soldiers are cherished and passed down to future generations.
