About Polish Falcons of America
Rooted in over a century of heritage, Polish Falcons of America traces its origins to 1887 when the very first Falcons group was established as a youth-focused gymnastic society in Chicago, blessed by leaders of the Polish immigrant community. The organization evolved significantly over the decades, formally establishing its National Headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1912 as an independent, unified organization dedicated to preserving Polish heritage while serving its members' evolving needs. Today, Polish Falcons of America stands as a member-driven community life insurer committed to protecting financial futures, strengthening local communities, and preserving the rich traditions of Polish-American culture. The organization serves as a bridge between generations, honoring deep traditions including vibrant folk music, traditional dances, and core values of family, faith, and community that continue to enrich American society. Members of Polish Falcons of America in Pittsburgh and nationwide participate in celebrations of Polish American Heritage Month and engage with historical commemorations that keep important stories alive. The society's commitment extends beyond insurance products to include genealogical research grants, cultural education, and youth development programs. With 20,000 members nationwide, Polish Falcons of America represents a living legacy of Polish-American achievement and resilience. The organization's fraternal mission emphasizes that together is better, encouraging members to support their local Nests and contribute meaningfully to their communities while celebrating the heritage that defines their identity.
