The 1947 Society was created for those who believe the Guardsmen legacy is something to be protected, strengthened, and carried forward. Membership in the 1947 Society is more than a contribution; it is a statement of belief in the long green line and in the values that have defined The Guardsmen since 1947.

A gift of $1,947 or more, made as a lump sum or through 12 equal monthly payments of $162.25, directly supports The Guardsmen’s General Endowment Fund, helping ensure the organization remains strong for generations to come.

Members are recognized with a commemorative 1947 Society lapel pin and other opportunities to celebrate our shared commitment.

By joining, you help safeguard our future, honor those who came before us, and ensure that opportunity, leadership, and service endure long after our watch has ended.
