The American Legion Chief Cornplanter Post 135 has been contributing to Warren County sports organizations for many years. The Legion doesn’t just throw in a couple bucks here and there, however. The American Legion’s faithful members have donated over $300,000 to local sports organizations in just the last 10 years. These organizations include Lady Dragon Basketball, Warren Swim Team, AAU Basketball, WAHS Track, Warren Trap Team, YMCA Powerhouse Gymnastics, Youngsville Track, American Legion Baseball, Warren County Youth Football League, WAHS Soccer, WAHS Volleyball, Warren County Youth Baseball League, Sheffield Basketball, Youngsville Basketball, Sheffield Sports Boosters, and the Clarion University Men’s Golf Team. They have also assisted underprivileged student athletes obtain requisite equipment through anonymous donations. Additionally, the Legion donates $8,000 per year in High School scholarships and makes a yearly donation of $5,000 to the Warren County 4th of July parade. Their consistent loyalty to the development of youth sports in the county makes them more than deserving of their induction into the Warren County Sports Hall of Fame. The American Legion Post 135 is one of the unsung heroes of athletics development and stability in Warren County. Their unwavering willingness to financially support county-wide sports teams renders them worthy of the Warren County Sports Hall of Fame.
