OUR STORY
About the Riders
The American Legion Riders of Post 102 in Anoka are a dedicated group of veteran motorcyclists united by the values of service, honor, and brotherhood. Since our founding, we’ve been committed to supporting our fellow veterans and strengthening the bonds of our community.
Every ride is an opportunity to make a difference. We fundraise for veteran causes, organize community events, and provide support to those who have sacrificed for our country. When you join the Riders, you become part of a family devoted to serving with purpose and pride.
OUR MISSION
What We Do
Support Veterans
We fundraise year-round for veterans programs — from housing assistance to medical support. Every dollar raised stays close to home.
Honor the Fallen
We organize memorial rides and ceremonies to honor those who gave everything. Riding together is how we remember.
Serve the Community
Charity rides, community escorts, and local fundraisers. We show up — rain or shine — because that’s what Legion Family does.
Ride with Purpose
Every fundraiser and every dollar goes back to veterans, their families, and our community. Everything we do is right here.
