Urgent Action Needed: Help Us Secure Funding for Florida Legion Programs

The Florida American Legion needs your support to ensure vital programs are fully funded in the 2025 state budget. With session extended for budget negotiations, now is the time to act.

We’re asking you to contact key legislators and voice your support for:


Boys State & Girls State

Request: $200,000 (Non-Recurring, Higher Education Budget)
✅ Funded in House | ❌ Not in Senate

  • Ask Senator Gayle Harrell (Senate Higher Ed Chair) to fully fund this life-changing youth program.
    (772) 221-4019 or (850) 487-5031

  • Thank Rep. Demi Busatta (House Higher Ed Chair) for House support and urge protection during negotiations.
