El Reno’s Gifts for the Yanks celebrates 80th birthday with more than 350 gift bags for hospitalized veterans

Body

During World War II, comedian Eddie Cantor began raising money for Christmas gifts to be sent to American military members hospitalized in England.

Over the 80 years since, the holiday drive kept going through the efforts of American Legion posts around the United States as well as high school students.

El Reno High School and American Legion Post 34 Auxiliary have been supporting the program from the outset and celebrated the 80th anniversary by raising $12,207 to purchase gifts for the men and women at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Oklahoma City.
