The social studies team at Draper is once again raising money for Disabled American Veterans (DAV). All donations support DAV’s life-changing services for veterans in need and their families. For every $250 collected, the DAV will send 24 small US flags that will be planted by students. The fundraiser ends on Nov. 5.

The Field of Flags is an important civic activity for students to create a visual for community members to honor local veterans. After receiving the flags, students will plant them outside Draper the week before Veterans Day.
Upon request, contributions of $20 or more can be made to honor veteran family members or friends. When donating, note the name and branch of service of the veteran you wish to honor on the donation site. The names and branches of service of sponsored veterans will be displayed on a sign set near the flags.
Founded in 1920 by World War I veterans, the DAV supports disabled military veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families through various programs and services.
