The annual 408 BASH is held each year to raise funds to assist the Chebanse American Legion with our continued efforts to give back to Veteran organizations such as the Manteno Veteran's Home, Kankakee VAC and Iroquois VAC.  Your support helps raise the funding needed for us to give back to those who served.
