Army of Hope

​

Since 1917, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has demonstrated its compassion for the veterans of our armed forces through numerous programs and activities. Since 1946, the order has maintained the pledge,

“So long as there are Veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them.”

​

Each November, the Elks observe National Veterans Remembrance Month. We ask everyone in our communities throughout Florida to join the Elks as we thank our veterans. Let’s all do our part to remember these men and women.

​

God bless our veterans, God bless the men and women serving in our military and their families, and God bless America.

Since 1931, the Elks National Foundation has helped students recognize their academic dreams. Each year, we award more than $3 million in college scholarships to at least 800 outstanding, service-minded high school seniors. Once you're an Elks scholar, you're family.

​

Service. Leadership. Academics. Our Elks scholar family is 17,000 strong, with 3,000 active scholars attending 65 unique U.S. institutions.

The Florida State Elks Association is committed to helping deserving students receive the necessary education and training to start a successful career. Preparing a quality workforce is essential in generating economic growth and improving the quality of life for our Florida communities.
