Our membership is made up of riders from The American Legion family. We meet the first Saturday of every month at 10:00AM and ride afterwards.
We support our Post, our Veterans, and our community with fundraising events throughout the year. These events include:
An annual event that supports a multitude of Programs and Charities of the American Legion Riders. This ride is held on hte same day as the Kentucky Derby.
We provide motorcycle escorts for Veterans and their families to National Cemeteries, when requested by their families. This year we have provided escorts several times.
An annual event held prior to Thanksgiving that supports Veterans Coalition Food Pantry with donation of hams and funds ensuring that our Veterans have a holiday dinner.
We partner with our brother ALR Post 237, in raising money to purchase wreaths and remembering our fallen Veterans by placing those wreaths on grave sites at Bushnell National Cemetery during the Holiday season. This ride takes place the Sunday before Christmas
We hold several rides a year to raise fund for the American Legion, our Post, child welfare, the homeless, the needy and Veteran related programs.
