Our American Legion Auxiliary Poppy is hand-made by the veterans for which the veteran receives money for each poppy made. Many of these veterans are in VA Medical Centers, and in some cases, the therapeutic benefits derived are most helpful to them. Promoting public awareness and the history and the purpose of the Poppy is part of this program. Contacting schools to enter Poppy Poster contests and displaying posters in a store window enhances public awareness.
Key Program Statements:
- Promote the Poppy Program and increase revenue.
- Educate your community on the meaning and the history of the poppy.
- Celebrate National Poppy Day.
- Increase the number of poppy makers in your community.

Poppy Day Resources
Poppy Days have become a familiar tradition in almost every American community. This distribution of the bright red memorial flower to the public is one of the oldest and most widely recognized programs of the American Legion Auxiliary.
There are many items you can distribute in exchange for donations in addition to the traditional crepe paper poppy.
