Each year from August through September, DAV Chapter 17 conducts its largest annual fundraiser—the Forget-Me-Not Campaign. The small blue Forget-Me-Not flower serves as a promise that the sacrifices of our veterans—both those who came home and those who did not—will never be forgotten.

Throughout the campaign, you’ll find our volunteers outside Strack & Van Til stores across Lake County offering the symbolic blue Forget-Me-Not flower.

Every donation helps support DAV’s programs and services for veterans and their families, especially our most vulnerable veterans.

When you see us, please stop by and say hello. We enjoy meeting members of our community, connecting with fellow veterans, and sharing the mission that has guided DAV for generations: Veterans Helping Veterans.
