Eventgroove is honored to announce a new partnership with The American Legion to power the USA 250 Challenge—a nationwide initiative celebrating 250 years of American independence.
The challenge invites individuals and teams to take part in activities such as walking or cycling 250 miles, practicing 250 hours of mindfulness, or completing 250 acts of community service. Along the way, participants raise funds for the Veterans & Children Foundation. Registration is $30 and includes a commemorative USA 250 Challenge t-shirt. The program runs through July 4, 2026.
With Eventgroove’s all-in-one platform, The American Legion can offer participants easy registration, personalized fundraising pages, progress tracking, and social media integration. This collaboration goes beyond the USA 250 Challenge—The American Legion has also selected Eventgroove to manage registration and fundraising for its August 2026 National Convention and other upcoming national events.
“This is a unique moment to celebrate the freedoms we hold dear while engaging in activities that strengthen our bodies, minds, and communities. The Eventgroove platform makes it simple for participants to register, track progress, and support our mission. We’re excited to work with Eventgroove, not only for the USA 250 Challenge, but also for our 2026 National Convention and other major events.”
—James Baca, Executive Director of The American Legion
“We are honored to partner with The American Legion on such a meaningful and unifying campaign. The USA 250 Challenge embodies service, health, and community spirit—values that align perfectly with our mission to help organizations raise more and do more good. We look forward to powering not only this challenge, but also the Legion’s major events well into the future.”
—Lance Trebesch, CEO of Eventgroove
