This Year's Project: 2024 Bunker Fund
About Our Organization
American Legion Riders Post #27 is a 501(c)19 non-profit organization that was chartered in October of 2010. It is a program formed for the members of The American Legion, The American Legion Auxilliary and The Sons of the American Legion members who share an interest in motorcycling.
Our major function as a group is to escort funeral processions and stand flag lines for our fallen military men & women. Our group participates in Quilt of Valor ceremonies, community parades and other ceremonies that honor our heroes. We donate time & resources to help veterans in need whether that be in the form of supplying necessities or helping repair items for disabled veterans. We support our nation's veterans, children and the communities they call home by holding fund raising events in support of The American Legion and local community charities. Riders log thousands of miles each year, and raise thousands of dollars for local and national charities such as VA Hospitals, Scholarship funds for the children of fallen heros and several local children's charities such as Shop with a Cop.
Currently, over 110,000 American Legion Riders meet in over 2,000 chapters in every domestic department and in at least three foreign countries. Riders in all states have escorted military units returning home from combat tours overseas, conducted massive cross-country fundraising events for wounded warriors from all services, and have raised millions of dollars for countless local, state and national charities.
