About the Riders
American Legion Riders chapters are well known for their charitable work, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local children's hospitals, schools, veterans homes, severely wounded service members and scholarships. Since 2006, Riders nationwide have participated in the Legion Legacy Run, to annually raise money for the Legacy Scholarship Fund, established to provide scholarships to children of U.S. military personnel killed since Sept. 11, 2001.
BENEFITS FROM AN AMERICAN LEGION RIDERS GROUP?
Every Post program of the American Legion Riders has brought in members who may not have joined the American Legion or SAL if it were not for the Riders. Many of the ALR groups in existence today found some of their Post members reluctant to let a group of “Bikers” into their Post. After seeing what these groups were doing for the American Legion, those Post member opinions changed. Not only did the Post welcome them, but in most cases helped support the ALR’s efforts by participating in their fundraising events. ALR members also volunteer for Post programs. They’ve found that they can work together to promote the aims and purposes of the American Legion. Some of the members who joined for the Legion Riders program have gone on to serve as officers within their Post. The American Legion Riders were never intended to be a “Motorcycle Club” It was formed to work with the local Post to assist in promoting the American Legion.
