On November 3, 2026, AJ DuChene and Jeff Naig, representing the West Des Moines office of FORVIS MAZARS, presented a generous $5,000 donation to the American Legion Department of Iowa in support of our Boys State Program.
Pictured with Department Commander Don DeKock, their contribution represents an investment in the next generation of Iowa’s leaders.
American Legion Boys State provides young men with an extraordinary opportunity to experience the responsibilities of citizenship, leadership, public service, and government firsthand. The lessons learned, friendships formed, and experiences gained can have a lasting impact on their futures.
Beyond Boys State, The American Legion supports a wide range of youth programs, including American Legion Baseball, Scouting, Junior Shooting Sports, Oratorical Scholarships, and more. These programs help young people develop character, leadership, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility to their communities and country.
The American Legion Department of Iowa extends our sincere appreciation to AJ DuChene, Jeff Naig, and the entire FORVIS MAZARS organization for their generosity and commitment to Iowa’s youth.
Supporting our youth today helps build stronger communities and a brighter future for tomorrow.
Thank you, FORVIS MAZARS, for helping make that possible!
