Public Personalities Put On Poppies

As a part of many storied traditions, the 500 Festival Princess Program selects 33 young women to serve as ambassadors for the Indianapolis 500 and Festival each year. What’s new this year? The ‘princesses’ are wearing American Legion Auxiliary poppies! Christine Hosp, Poppy Program Coordinator at national headquarters, delivered poppies for each of the princesses to wear during highly visible festival activities throughout the month of May.

Do prominent figures in your community wear poppies? Use these tools to help! Download Media Fact Sheet | Download Poppy Letter to Media
