Create A Legacy — Service Through Retirement Planning

Last month, a local veteran was able to reach a VA appointment thanks to support from DAVRLC. Stories like this remind us that the generosity of our members creates lasting change, right here in Charlotte County.

One meaningful way to continue this impact is by considering a Roth IRA charitable distribution. Because Roth IRA distributions are typically tax-free, every dollar you designate goes directly to sustaining DAVRLC’s mission—advocating for and assisting veterans and their families.

How It Works

  • Contact Your IRA Administrator – Ask about making a charitable distribution.

  • Provide Our Information:

    Robert L. Cochran, Jr. Chapter 82, Disabled American Veterans (DAV)

    EIN: 31-1101788

1441 Tamiami Trail, Unit 349, Port Charlotte, FL 33948-4004

  • Let Us Know – So we can acknowledge your gift, please:

    • EM: treasurer.davrlc@gmail.com or

    • PH: (941) 629-2833 (ATTN: Gus Pellegrino).

Why It Matters

Your contribution ensures we can continue providing expert guidance, training new service officers, and maintaining the resources our veterans rely on.  By thoughtfully aligning your retirement planning with our mission, you extend your legacy of service and compassion—long after your military duty has ended.

A Legacy That Lives On

“When I retired, I wanted to make sure the next generation of veterans had the same support I’ve always counted on from DAVRLC. My Roth IRA gave me an easy way to do that. Because the distributions are tax-free, I knew every dollar would go straight to helping veterans right here in Charlotte County.”
