We also provide college scholarships to boys and girls and financial support to our Legion Baseball program, Boy Scout Unit, Post-Prom activities, families of deployed service members and more. We have the support of a very active Auxiliary Unit and Sons of the American Legion Detachment who help us with many activities including the hosting of the Otoe County Fair Veterans Parade.

The Post members along with the members of our VFW Post collaborated with our Auxiliaries and members to raise donate $25,000 to help build the new sports complex which resulted in the field that the Legion Baseball team plays on to be named Veterans Field.
