The Yellow Ribbon Alliance Lower St. Croix Valley (YRALSCV) continues its mission of supporting communities, servicemembers, veterans and military families. They have done a myriad of good deeds and have raised thousands of dollars for service members, veterans and their families over several years. Many lifelong friendships have been formed and sustained as a result of the efforts of the volunteers of the YRALSCV.
 
The Yellow Ribbon Alliance Lower St. Croix Valley serves people of all ages, from infants to elderly.  Their good deeds include helping a military mom who needed assistance funding her son’s cancer treatments, to awarding three $700.00 scholarships for Stillwater Area High School senior graduates.  The volunteers often transport veterans to and from their medical appointments in Minneapolis and to the Mayo clinic in Rochester. Their efforts also include providing financial support for educational programming and mental health counseling and building a ramp for an elderly veteran to help with his mobile needs.
 
The YRALSCV is comprised of five communities bordering the St. Croix River in Washington County, MN. We are comprised of the cities of Lakeland, Lakeland Shores, Lake St. Croix Beach, St. Mary’s Point, and Afton.
 
The Yellow Ribbon Alliance Lower St. Croix is a federally registered 501c3 non-profit organization operated exclusively by volunteers.  The YRALSCV was created to provide resources and awareness of veteran issues to the community. They strive to provide opportunities for veteran and family camaraderie, support, and education.
 
This time around we are going bigger, and better, although Yellow Ribbon was able to make money for our local heroes, we think we can do better, so we are asking for sponsors for the event to assist with the planning and securing bigger name bands for the event.
