Each year 161 teams up with local legions to help with the Poppy Campaign. As a thank you the legions donate a portion of the poppy funds raised back to our cadet program. The great thing about cadets is that it FREE! No costs are passed onto the cadets and their families. All we ask for is help with fundraising to pay for the activities your cadets enjoy. We would like all of our cadets to take at least 1 shift.
