As Elks, we pledge to never forget our nation’s veterans. This pledge extends to our troops defending our country on two fronts, as well. Now, through an alliance with the USO, we’re pleased to offer an easy, yet powerful, way for you to support our troops and their families.

What do you think of when you hear USO? An airport lounge where service men and women grab a cup of coffee and a donut, watch some TV, and relax? Popular entertainers who put on shows at bases around the world? These activities are still a part of the USO, but only a small part. Today’s USO has an array of programs that provide care, comfort and support to our troops and their families. Programs that Elks can believe in and support.

The Elks/USO alliance offers Lodges the opportunity to contribute to the USO programs listed below, at any amount. By supporting these USO programs, the Elks will gain recognition and establish military contacts that will further enhance established Elks programs.

The Elks/USO alliance enhances the Elks pledge, while maximizing support for our service men and women and their families. Together, we can do even more for the brave men and women, and their families, serving our country. See below for Elks/USO programs offered to Lodges and how to get started!
