VETERANS RIDING ORGANIZATIONS There are numerous motorcycle-oriented Veterans groups across Ohio. We’ve included a few here in effort to encourage those looking for Brothers and Sisters to ride with – to take the step and find a group. Comradery and time with folks that you can connect to as a Veteran is invaluable.
American Legion 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. There are chapters across Ohio. You can visit the group page on Facebook, American Legion Riders of Ohio – or visit your local American Legion for more information.
