How To Join

The American Legion Riders are a diverse group of motorcycle enthusiasts sharing common goals. All are members or spouses of The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of The American Legion, and all are united by patriotism. They answer the call to ride in service to America's military, her veterans, and for the children and youth of our country.

The activities of The Legion Riders are limited only by the imagination of the members of the local Riders organizations, and many local chapters have independently raised thousands of dollars for local children hospitals, veterans' homes, and scholarship programs. In 2006, Riders united nationally for the First Annual American Legion Legacy Run and raised more than $180,000 for The American Legacy Scholarship Fund for the children of those who given their lives on active duty, defending our freedoms in the War on Terror.
